Tony - Re: "Sun has developed an emulator (I guess you'd call it that) they call x86. With it, you can run Sun Solaris (their super version of UNIX) on Intel boxes. "

I thought SUN had a native x86 version of Solaris (v 2.5?) that ran directly on Intel boxes (probably with specific hardware configurations) - no emulation required.

So, monthly software licenses, huh? This must be the RISC version of the MicroSoft tax!

The Workstation Software vendors are in for changing times with x86 workstations. The gravy days may be over.
