I'd be interested also.

They are not talking about Solaris 2.4 but earlier versions like Solaris 2.2
or Solaris 2.3.  solaris 2.3 with  the recommended patchs is known to
be pretty stable but still is nothing compared to Solaris 2.4.

When solaris 2.4 for Sparc ships next week (Dec 6th) these people will
see what Solaris 2.4 Intel users have know for awhile, that Solaris 2.4
is as stable as SunOs 4.1.x.
