   As have been discussed here in c.o.v many times over the years, many
   of us use VMS for things UNIX just can't do.  We recognise that for
   the vast majority of the market that consideration is null (i.e. UNIX
   and VMS can both do all the things they need), or reversed (i.e. a
   product exists that only runs on UNIX).

   What in the world can Solaris do that Linux just can't do?
