Sun Delivers Solaris 9 x86 Edition
Sun Microsystems Inc. on Thursday delivered its long-awaited Solaris 9 x86 Platform Edition, previously reported by eWeek, more than a year after the company first said it would delay the product.
Sun first announced that it would postpone the productization of Unix-based Solaris 9 for x86 in January 2002, but customers put enormous pressure on the company to reverse that decision. A group, known as the Secret Six, also stepped up to the plate to negotiate with Sun in this regard. Alan DuBoff, the president of Software Orchestration Inc., and one of the Secret Six, said on Thursday that he was pleased Sun had listened to the x86 community.
