>I hate to have to be the one to tell you this, but Unix runs on PC's, so you can't very well claim it requires more expensive hardware. It isn't the hardware but softwares run on Unix are expensive. I used to be a Unix software developer, and I paid around 50k for a C++ compiler, a Sybase DB, and Frame word processor, and a purify debuger. I just paid 5k for the same stuffs run on the NT. By the way, all the tech supports on the Unix are much expensive too.
