The unix vendors can't manufacture cost effectively at the low end (well anywhere really) SUNW's low-end Ultra 5 runs at the same price/performance as DELL's high-end PC's. The only difference is the software. Solaris is a high-quality, secure O/S and NT is not. NT supports apps which are not available on Solaris that helps it to sell well in the office market. Now SUNW is producing the PCi card that runs NT apps inside an Ultra on a pci-slotted card with no performance hits. Michelle, this means that MSFT has serious competition in their home base, and it's coming from the leading internet team in the business: SUNW-AOL. You need to consider this carefully if you are thinking seriously about staying long on MSFT. cherylw
