I agree.   Perhaps it's worth it to them to "buy up" the Cobalt/Linux
user-base so that they can heard previous users along with those who
just bought in on the new RaQ4s into experiencing a "real" OS like
Solaris then?  Perhaps that's the strategy?  In the long run it sounds
like it would pay off because all of these new users would probably be
bound to have troubles and need to call and have pay-for services
performed for them..?  From the comments I've allready heard on this
subject,  it has sounded like Sun exacts a stiff price for any support
help it hands out beyond the basics?
