BEEP Wrong...my sources show that 89% of all internet traffic hits a
SOLARIS box at one point or another.

BIG HUGE BEEP WORNG.  Hotmail runs on Sun my boy.  I know, I SUPPORT them.

Replace Linux with Solaris or just Unix in general and your statements are
correct.  Plus, I know of NO MS product that can handle greater than 4
processors correctly......Sun has machines with 72 and up processors that
run on plain ole Solaris perfectly.  I know, I support them.

Agreed...and game makers favor the MS platform....so if you are a serious
gamer, MS is a good desktop choice as well.

Ewww...AIX? HPUX? 

I am sorry man!  I learned one flavor of unix hardware and software, and
that is Sun...damn glad that was my choice too...heard too many horror
stories.
