Steve, nice post, well made points. This one is right on: There is an argument that Sun servers are more reliable than Intel servers, but that is down to the flexibility of the Intel servers and the fact that companies tend to choose to put so much garbage (in terms of software) on them. My experience of well implemented Wintel servers is that they are extremely reliable. If there were as many uses and as much third party software being run on Sun, the Sun machines would struggle. Of course, Sun machines don't load much of anything besides Sun Unix and Solaris. Tony
