  1. Comment - Windows May Come to Sun Servers

    (Jul 5, 2005 - 8:11 PM)

    I don't know about servers, but it appears that their new workstation supports Windows. You do have to buy it separately though, but the hardware is "fully supported".

    Solaris 10 is so much better though; I'd rather install Solaris 10 on a Dell or IBM rather than Windows on a Sun Workstation.

    By the way, most of Sun's servers run on the Sparc. To the best of my knowledge there is no patch to make Windows run on a Sparc... although the coprocessor cards can "Run Solaris and Microsoft or Linux" on them:

    Anyone heard of an OS called "Microsoft" ?
