Well well well... Solaris is back

It looks like Sun is finally back with the x86 crowd with Solaris. Solaris 9 is now on their Download / Order page:
http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/get.html
but $20 to download and $95 for media... I don't think I'll be rushing out to pay that.

Here is a link to their press release:
http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflas...0030206.1.html

I wonder if the few large companies that use x86 Solaris (such as Verizon) finally got them to continue the distribution.

I also wonder how long it'll be before they yank it off their site again. Any bets?
