Yeh, but you don't have to buy it all at once. You can get on board for
3 grand for a usably fast system, instead of 10 grand.

And System V might not have all the bells and whistles, but apart from the
abhorrent IPC (which isn't that much worse than BSDs) it's a hell of a lot
cleaner. V.4 should satisfy even the most whacked out Berkeleyoid (like I
used to be before I discovered what System V.3.2 has in /etc/conf). Maybe
A System V.4/Mach port will let us dump the crap (shmget, ipc.h, select)
simply by not loading their respective daemons from /etc/rc2.d.
