Pwengle - Re:<And it also why ... have been working on Merced> The relevant point which you HiLited is <Solaris code base is almost completely platform independent> They reached a milestone - & got it to run on the Merced. Whoopee-WOO-WOO - lets have a party - IT runs! - Does it work ... Nah - it runs. They now have an OS that runs but doesn't work on a CPU that won't see the light of day on store shelves 'till Y2K(Or ever), & won't be successfull then! What do you do with a Merced box when you're looking at 72 processor 21264s & K7s? That's a joke Pwengle, you don't use it! tgptndr
