I thought the name Solaris came up a little bit before Oracle took over
Sun... BTW: I didn't know the takeover has even completed yet.

Yes. And now the SunOS part is called ON (OS/Net consolidation) on
opensolaris.org.

But much worse is the naming scheme of the compiler suite. Although it
seems to have stabilized to "Sun Studio".

But with the Oracle takeover we can expects all names to change once
again. But who cares, as long as Solaris stays open source and the most
innovative platform.
