What Sun fail to understand here is that it does not make sense to sell SPARC servers without supporting workstations. Where do they think the application development do take place? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
