Maybe the policy is different in Europe? Or it's changing from day to day? As recently as last week, our sales people are saying the following, very similar verbiage to what others have posted from their Oracle sales people: Premier Support for Operating Systems (Solaris for SPARC, x86, and OpenSolaris) will be provided on non-Sun boxes for Solaris 10 update 8 and prior. However, issues identified on non-Sun boxes will need to be replicated on a Sun box. For Solaris 10 update 9 and later, Premier Support for Operating Systems will be available on Oracle/Sun boxes only. This refers to support contracts purchased from Oracle directly. As you know, there are mixed messages floating around about whether or not one will be able to buy Solaris/OpenSolaris support on non-Sun hardware from OEM hardware vendors.
