but receive a lot of critisim from the user community. So they

I first installed Solaris 2.5 on Intel (AMD actually) on a 386/40 with 8Mb RAM. It ran fine. Sun pretty well shot its Intel market the same way IBM blew its OS2 market: Overpriced the crap out of the OS and development tools. By the time they woke up and noticed that the market had moved on to other stuff, it was too late for a price drop to do any good. I'm wonder why Sun keeps the X86 version around. Maybe Scott is just stubborn.

Anyone have ideas on this?

Sun is now going after the intel market too. Is this just a new version of
their Solaris x86, or a completely new build?
