Ian, Tim, again, thank you very much in answering my question. I am a bit disappointed that the whole discussion group does not have one person to stand up and say "yeah, OpenSolaris absolutely outperforms Linux and Windows, because......"
But I wish, one day, we can be arguing not on a basis of belief, but on a basis of facts (referencable data). I can test all I want, the results don't mean anything in official arguments because I am not VERITEST, and my firm is not funding my testings. With all the love for Sun Storage, and all the disappointments, please, keep this in mind.
