Has anyone managed to install OS X on a Sun yet?
Who cares? It comes with Solaris 10.
I prefer Linux to Solaris, for most UNIX-only task sets, and OS
X to either for just about anything else.
Offers seamless migration to 64-bit computing through support for both
64-bit and 32-bit applications
Hmmm, so does my G5.
Except your G5 costs lost more, and doesn't run Solaris.
Feature.
Runs industry-leading Solaris, Linux, and Windows operating systems
Hmmm, so does my macbook pro.
Without any support for Windows.
I can't remember the last time I got any sort of 'support' for
Windows out of any company, so that it completely irrelevant.
Probably the only useful support for a Windows user would be a
12-step program.
"Hello, I'm Edwin, and I have a Windows computer."
"HELLOOOO, EDWIN!!!"
etc.
Look above and weep, Maccies. Sun has delivered a dual-core, 64 bit
workstation that supports Solaris, Linux, and Windows, for $895.
The nearest Mac costs $2,000.
Post the configuration data showing what you get for $895.
Click the link I gave you.
For some reason I missed it the first time around. And to think
I have 20/10 vision.
Anyway, I followed the link, said I wanted to buy one, selected
United States, and got the following:
Page Not Found
Sorry, there is no sun.com web page matching your request. It is
possible you typed the address incorrectly, or that the page no
longer exists. Based upon the url that you requested, we have
suggested words that you may wish to use to search our site.
Apparently not even sun can run a website properly anymore.
As such, I have no idea what it costs configured to order...
The base config seems to be based on some minimal subset of this
page:
http://www.sun.com/desktop/workstation/ultra20/specifications.jsp
But it is not clear.
Even Dell can manage a website decently, wow.
Supporting Windows is by far the least interesting item in the
entire post.
Because it outdoes the poor way Apple offers Windows, without any
support?
Good luck calling Sun and asking for support on your Windows
setup. You know, you probably aren't aware of this, claiming
support for something and actually supporting it are radically
different topics.
I do agree that boot camp isn't the right answer,
but Parallels clearly is...
An emulator? To run software that ought to be running natively?
Do try to keep up with the class.
