Check out the Solaris driver selection on x86 these days,
it still stinks. It is unlikely they'll ever have the coverage
Linux does any time soon.

Frankly, if the only specific technical feature Sun has to brag
about in Solaris 10 is DTrace, that's pretty sad. Even more so,
most of the bugs I see being fixed in Solaris kernel patches
are performance regressions against Linux. This, given how things
were 6 or 7 years ago and the things the Solaris folks used to
flame us for, I find particularly amusing.
