Solaris is an awesome platform and Solaris 10 and tools are outstanding but Sun is too much into the bait and switch game with its x86 initiatives. Lets face it all they want to do is sell you more expensive hardware, Sun Hardware. For a company with their experience base they could take Linux and make it work for them but instead they have lost touch with the reality of the data centers and IT departments of the world. Linux - warts and all - offers far far more choice than any other vendor out there. This seems to be taking Sun by surprise. Whats customers have choice?!?!?! As a Systems Manager the last thing I want is "Lock in" and Linux works well enough to allow me to do the projects I am handed with the budgets I have on the hardware of my choice.
