And I wouldn't begin to disagree with you. Of course we both know that Solaris is not Windows and that what I wrote was:

"I've yet to run into a single instance of DB2 on Windows ... or for that matter DB2 on non-IBM hardware"

Which part of my use of the word Windows made both you and Mark immediately run out and decide to talk about Solaris rather than address the reference to Windows? ... I know ... and I'm sorry I added the second part of the sentence. But while your experience may be valid in the NY Metro area ... it is not my experience from any site I am aware of on the West Coast.
