Talk:Spring (operating system)

Article name

Why has this article been renamed "Sun Spring"? No-one calls Spring that: I checked several hundred Google search results for "Sun Spring", and found only a handful of results that even have anything to do with operating systems, and those are for phrases like "Sun's Spring" and "... from Sun (Spring, Hibernate, ...". People refer to "Spring", "the Spring project", "Sun's Spring" etc., never "Sun Spring" -- not even Sun calls it that. -- 82.36.30.34 02:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. Looking at the edit history, I see that user Rwwww (talk · contribs) moved it from "Spring (operating system)" to the current name back in June. See User talk:Rwwww#Why move .22Trusted Solaris.22 to .22Sun Trusted Solaris.22 .3F for a related discussion. Note that there are no other operating systems named "Spring" AFAIK, and that Spring was a research project, not a commercial product. So I agree with 82.36.30.34 (talk · contribs) that the previous title was better. I've left a message on User talk:Rwwww. What do other editors think? CWC 10:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Definitely should be restored back to "just "Spring (operating system)" -- no surprise here, I imagine, since I was the one that asked that "Sun Trusted Solaris" be moved back to "Trusted Solaris", and Rwwww was good enough to do so.--NapoliRoma 18:40, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

And now Rwwww has moved this article back to "Spring (operating system)". Thanks, Rwwww. Cheers, CWC 01:38, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

SPARC, not 68000?

The overview box of the article gives "Motorola 68000 series" as the supported platform. All papers, however, mentions early SPARC systems (e.g. SparcStation 2) only, which I would expect from a research OS that was created in the early '90s. 2A02:810D:82BF:CB50:F10F:2DE2:39FC:E6E4 (talk) 07:05, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
