We have been running SQL Server 4.8 and 4.9.1 on a dual-CPU Sun 670MP for over a year. This server is configured with two engines and supports about 100 users (about 250 connections). It is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We have had very few _serious_ problems and are very happy with it. I personally think SQL Server is an excellent product.

• I define a _serious_ problem as one that crashes the server or corrupts data. --
