really. consider all of the other goodies that run on PC's. lesse, we
have BSDI, 368bsd (jolitz), SCO, Unixware, QNX, other commercials that
i've forgotten, then the big cost/performance guns: free/open/net/etcBSD,
and linux.
Just picking three capriciously, BSDI, FreeBSD, and linux, i'd hazard that
they could do a damn competetive job with solaris x86 in terms of
performance/response time.[1]
anyhow, the point is that people have a lot of choices on the x86
archicture. hell, they even have choices on PPC, sparc, and alpha. These
choices include, but, certainly aren't limited to solaris and NT.
