Service Processors are neither free, nor built into every model of x86 Sun box. Many do come with them by default, though. As for their feature-full-ness, that's open to some debate.

Agreed. If Microsoft didn't offer security updates for free, the Internet would be an even worse place than it currently is. All systems _should_ have access to security updates. How those updates are delivered to users, and whether or not there's an associated price, is hard to say. There are valid arguments on either side, given the cost of testing and deployment. (I would suggest that not looking like total incompentents to everyone else might be a good enough arguement for providing free security patches to all users.) As a Solaris administrator who migrated his shop entirely from Linux two years ago, I'm quite happy to pay for reliablity fixes (if I need them) to the operating system I use completely for free; I'd even be happy to pay for security updates for Solaris 10, if the pricing were a little more .. particular.
