I don't know about service and support -- and more importantly, product delivery -- in the US and Europe, but in this part of Asia, delivery is almost always late and the "service" is arrogant and sometimes non-existent. Since starting my own company, I've switched to Intel and AMD processors, and I try not to support Solaris, unless I really have to. IMHO Sun deserves to "go under" and not be bought up.

If you think Sun's Sparc offerings are subpar, run away from their x86 HW.
