Dear Tony: No, that is why I was surprised. However in the SUNW CC when Scott was quizzed about it I seem to recall him responding something like "WHO?". Meaning he didnt believe that the product would prove to be up to the task, at least not in SUNW's league. I have transferred the post to the SUNW thread to see what the experts over there have to say. JDN

EMC jettisoned all the low-end (2-8 processors) products of Data General and kept the top of the line Aviion, which can scale up to 64 processors, to sell to the NT/Unix market server consolidation high-end niche. Check out this guarantee:

99.9 Percent Up-time Guaranteed

In fact, we are the only vendor confident enough to offer 99.9 percent up-time GUARANTEES for Windows NT, SQL 7.0, and Exchange 5.5.

I think this explains the W2K collaboration.
