For a | UNIX professional, you can't beat Solaris on an Ultra-Sparc. There | are MANY other considerations other than some random speed tests run | on a PC. How about security, scalability, and robustness of the OS?? I think the many Unix professionals who run their systems on Intel, DEC, HP, SGI etc would disagree with you.
