that was in a time before standardized systems began to really take hold

What's your time frame for standardized systems taking hold?
If you're talking about the desktop I was using 68020 based sun systems when most of my co-workers were using the PC-AT. When the move to 386 boxen took place I was running SunOS on Sun's 386 box. In both cases it was because we needed/wanted SunOS.

Now, if you mean running sun software on "standardized" hardware then I might agree with you. As for me: I now run non-sun software on sun hardware... and hp hardware, and ibm hardware and "pc-like" hardware using the Opteron processor, etc.
