Absolutely my experience. We are a Solaris/Cisco shop primarily
bc of the contracts. As a big company we have grand poobah
contracts with both companies that will land us a replacement
server/router/switch within a day. That is a HUGE deal. Bigger
than Sun hardware being better than i386, bigger than
performance, bigger than ease-of-use, etc..
