Gerald, If you want to know how much Solaris costs, call Sun Sales & Service. Until you have that information, your speculation as to what SUNW means by releasing a free Solaris is pretty much a waste of time. You may be surprised to learn that Solaris for workgroups of 25 or greater is actually less expensive out-of-the-box than NT and, because of its clear superiority as an OS, is far less expensive to implement & maintain. I hope you're not one of those MSFT-types who still think that if it's from SUNW it must be more expensive. It may have been that way 2-3 years ago, but since then SUNW has made significant strides in both software & hardware to make it more affordable to low-end users, where they compete with PC's & NT. SUNW is already known for quality & service and they are not going to concede price to an also-ran like MSFT. BTW: I don't make bets.
