But every time there is an issue with a Sun Ray, the first thing out of Support's mouth is generally have you patched/updated firmware? If not, call us back when you have....So you do pretty much need to keep up to date. > That goes without saying, but again compare things with what else is out > there on the market.

Any system from that era could access Solaris or Linux as a dumb client, same as Sun Ray (thanks to SGD). > I'd love to see Sun Rays costing less, but these things are always a > question of volume economics.

I don't think you can tie the SRSS costs in with that of the hardware, especially now that there are 3rd party hardware units. _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
