The company I currently work for (a system integrator) is running Solaris 8
and several customers of that company run Solaris 8 or Solaris 9, too --
sparc of course. At home I'm running the (64 bit enabled) Mac OS X.

Best regards,
Peter

In the same presentation Oms also mentioned their plan for Linux version,
though they seem to indicate this will be a server-only "BlacBox kernel".
It is not clear to me why Oms are holding off on full BB for both Linux
and 64-bit Unix. Perhaps they are concerned about manpower resources
needed to support such releases?

I wonder what would be the market and how much it would cost per seat.
Who on this list is running a 64-bit OS?
