What did Marc Say?
* We originally planned to use Linux on Intel commodity hardware
* Solaris is a better Linux than Linux
* Solaris has similar economic and OpenSource advantages as Linux
* It's very easy to move from Linux to Solaris
* Solaris 10 reliability is a very big deal for us
* Sun is now riding aggressive side of the price/performance curve
* With Sun hardware, we know everything has been tested and
integrated together
* With Solaris, we know if we need vertical scalability, we'll
actually be able to get it
So it is indeed showing a migration path to Solaris, if i understand
correct .. ?
