Why would they want to leave the hardware market? Are they not turning a profit?
I heard someone mention a potential buyout by IBM, this sounds more plausible
than Sun leaving the hardware market...not that IBM and Sun would be a very
good culture fit.

There is an article in the Chinese localized edition
IBM and Sun today announced that IBM will distribute the Solaris(TM)
Operating System (OS) and Solaris Subscriptions for select x86-based
IBM System x servers and BladeCenter servers to clients through IBM's
routes to market.
http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/prnewswire/AQTH08016082007-
Please refrain from posting HTML messages.
To answer your question, there is no way to check the OS version short of
writing a Forth program that would read raw blocks in and search through raw
data, but that's not really meant to work that way.
