Join the club. A lot of people are starting to evaluate or think about evaluating this new platform.

The T2000 appears to be a potentially better pick than the T1000.

Check out and do some searching of the google solaris group there's some good info there.

If you haven't seen or checked out the announcement when sun released this new hardware you probably should. You can find the url for watching this on www.sun.com

Scott McNealy brings Charles Phillips on stage and talks about the licensing after a very extensive introduction to the new product.
