Sun Releases Solaris 9 for Intel

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sunshine-lollipops-and-rainbows dept.

nairnr writes "Sun has announced that it is releasing Solaris 9 for Intel. Any takers? According to Sun, it extends the 'enterprise class OS to the X86 market'. How nice of them. Non-commercial usage is available at no charge, while commercial pricing starts at US $99; attractive OEM pricing is also available. Source code for Solaris will now be available. It seems they are after Microsoft, not Linux. More Power to them."

    Apart from the fact you have to cough up $20 to pay for the download, which personally, i think blows...

    And has anything changed since this was announced on the 1st of December as an 'early adopter' evaluatation?
