We (i.e. the DBA's) are trying to effect a platform change around here among
SA's and Operations Management who are still convinced that Tru64 is the OS
of The Enlightened (despite repeated CPU failures and OS bugs).  There is a
requirement (for now) to set up for RAC (although we Probably Do Not Need
RAC).  From what we (i.e. the DBA's) and me (i.e. me) can determine: IBM
clustering is still a work in progress.  HP is feeling around its backside
trying to determine which hole is truly its Unix hole.  After the end (we
hope) of the dot-com bust, Sun is sitting here with 7 billion dollars in the
bank and a very good Value Added Reseller (VAR) network.  Based on that, we
are a little inclined to say that the reports of Sun's demise are premature.

Is there something we missed?  Something we should know?
