You haven't used Solaris in a long time. Most people consider Solaris from 2.4 on. So in all your arguements your talking about Solaris 2.0->2.3, which everyone knew was buggy and to stay away from. Yet Solaris 2.4 came out in late 1994, and there currently at 2.5.1 with 2.6 coming out. So let's talk about UnixSwear 1.x. A nightmare. But when you talk UnixWare you mean 2.0. So UnixWare 2.0 must suck because UnixWare 1.x sucked so bad. So all you've let us know is the UnixSwear 2.x is better than Solaris 2.3.
