I applaud!
This was a very well laid out commentary with some extremely valid points. I have to say that I not necessarily agree with all, but so what!
I'd like to add that if we indeed are talking about Solaris for Intel compared to Linux, there is no doubt in my mind that I would advise people to go with Linux.
I have personally used Solaris for Intel, nice, if you already are used to Solaris from the Sparc Boxes.
When it comes to Oracle ports, this is the facts:
1. New releases are developed under Solaris on Sparc
2. When a code freeze happens on Solaris, the platform groups get the code.
3. NT will be released almost immediately after Solaris.
4. Then you will see platforms like HP-UX 10 and 11, AIX, OSF and Linux
5. Then the other platforms will follow in due time.
As for the stability, most of the bugs in Oracle are not platform specific.
