No offense here but this makes I/A a vendor driven DCS, not a customer driven
one.
If we stay at the mercy of the vender, then if the vendor decided they could
get a really good markup and we could be convinced that this is the way to go
maybe we should turn to Sony Playstations or even an Xbox instead.
Now that I think of it, a little Laura Croft while configuring might not be
such a bad thing.

I would suggest that the more important consideration would be which
direction Foxboro is heading. I certainly have no insight, but from
monitoring previous e-mail threads on freelists.org, the general impression
is that Foxboro is moving towards Bill & Co. If this is truly the case, and
no disrespect is intended, it's not going to matter if everyone else votes
Sun & Co.
Before the upgrade decision, may I suggest that you submit (in the name of
the President of your Company so you get their attention) a formal letter to
Foxboro requesting details on their future commitment to Unix for future
upgrades and long-term support. If you include a price tag for the upgrade
in your letter, you will have an even better chance of getting a response.
Consider Foxboro's response before making any decisions ...
