No Solaris 9 for x86

    An alternative thought to this is that Windows 2000, being a much more mature OS than NT

    Do you know that win2000 and winNT are infact the same OS? 2000 is just a newer verison/update of the existing System. Win2000 was called NT 5.0 during development and has still this as versions tag today. (analogous WinXP == WinNT 6.0)

    Don't let marketing confuse you and make you believe you buyed more than just an ver. update at the full price. (thats what the new naming scheme is all about IMHO)
