On the PC, all O/S's should be provided free-of-charge. Sun doesn't breakout Solaris revenues on Ultras because they are sold as a unit. Oh, I see. It's a "bundling" thing. It's only evil when Microsoft does it. What happens if a business wants to buy an Ultra unbundled from Solaris so they can run some hypothetical competitor's operating system, or one they wrote in house? Will they hear "No! In order to buy our hardware you must also buy our software!"? I seem to remember a company that had a little spat with the government over that in the past. It's fairly well known and goes by its initials.
