Scumbria, >>>"All of our hardware development is done on
Sparc/Solaris. NT is a grossly inadequate operating system for any application which
requires reliability, security, tool flow, or a host of other engineering requirements."

From my perspective, I see Sparc/Solaris workstations being "retired" by the hundreds in favor of NT workstations. The overwhelming reason is cost, of course. Speaking of hardware development, most CAE/CAD design tools are operable now on NT as well as UNIX. Several mechanical engineers dumped Suns in favor of Pentium Pros to run Autocad 14 over two years ago. Never looked back. Cadence and Synopsys are both cool with either UNIX or NT. Your statement NT is a grossly inadequate operating system for any application which... would fit well over on the SUNW thread, way out of place and wrong, as well, here. Have you seriously tried NT for design applications? Don't knock it unless you have.
