Maybe you are right about SUNW, but they really need Linux compatibility. The code bloat in Linux is not that bad. Even though Red Hat Linux 7.1 has as many lines of source code as Windows 2000, it's much less bloated because the software is more modular instead of being integrated. Red Hat Linux 7.1 runs perfectly on 16MB RAM. I know several Windows webmasters, that could easily use one month from they hear about a patch, until they tested their installation good enough to put it in production. On Windows servers, you don't install software on production systems without testing it first. Having Code Red coming up in the summer holidays doesn't make it better. Remember, that many countries have laws saying that employees must have at least three continuous weeks vacation during the summer, which makes many key employees totally unavailable for three weeks.
