a)Because of free Solaris, in the future, I believe many programmers will write programs for Solaris, just like they did for LINUX. Solaris is more stable than LINUX. Also, Solaris has greater security. My husband used LINUX, at one time. He switched to Solaris because of security problems. No system is secure as the previous article that I posted noted, but he feels more comfortable with Solaris than with LINUX or WINDOWS. WINDOWS also has serious security problems, plus it's full of bugs as well.
b) Windows 2000 makes me laugh! If I hurt your feelings, I am sorry, but MSFT does not release reliable products, in our opinion.
c) I don't follow IBM
d)If you read EMC's reports to the SEC, you will note that EMC lists SUN and other companies as well as competitors in the storage area. BIG DEAL! Sun prospers and EMC prospers. The demand for storage is so large that it will support more than one company, in my opinion.
Good Luck,
