Larger shops have, none of the smaller shops I've been around have

have to shell out huge amounts of money to get patches. It's
ridiculous. That's why OpenSXCE is important. Big organizations
(banks, hospitals, etc) have no problem with a few thousand bucks a year
for patch access. For smaller ones, like small retail chains (I do a
lot in that space) just don't have that kind of money these days, but
they still need a stable platform with good performance. I've moved
some of them to Linux, but that's not my preference.

This is true. But sales of *everything* are down.
And more
importantly, my customers want SPARC, and I can still get them...and
now I can once again get a good OS for them that I can support. That's
all I'm worried about. -Dave
What are most people running out in the field ? Have people moved to 11
