I've always thought that any establishment with a liquor license should be required by law to have a regularly inspected breathalyzer available for its patrons. Anyone who questions how much they have had to drink can simply ask to use it.
I'm sure most people would not drive drunk if they were sure they were over the legal limit. However most people have no idea what a 0.08 feels like.
Perhaps you are referring to the security Sun provides by taking weeks to release patches to Solaris? For example the recent sendmail and ssh exploits? I would expect better support from an "enterprise" class company.
Don't even get me started about the sorry state of their Cobalt support since they took over the little blue boxes.
Don't get me wrong, Solaris on Sun hardware is more stable but the free BSD/Linuxs on cheap Intel hardware are not far behind. The 10% of people that need Solaris/Sun is shrinking fast and Sun should be very worried about that. Every single company I have done work for has is in the process of migrating their Solaris platforms towards Linux for cost reasons. This includes several companies serving enterprise needs such as medical records/credit agencies/etc.
