That was my point.  Is Solaris even relevant in today's IT world?
If I were VSI I would not waste time trying to determine how to
"compete" with Solaris.  And AIX while still doing OK is really a
very niche product and probably not really a competitor anymore.

Like it or not, the competitors are Windows Server and the Free
Unix and Unix-workalikes.
