According to Sun Telemarketing, SunOS 4.0.1 for the 386i is being shipped
to *all* current owners of 386i systems (not just those under warranty or
maintenance support).  4.0.1 for the 386i is apparently a much more
substantial update than it is for the 2's, 3's and 4's.  I get the
impression it fixes many of the bugs and problems that have been reported
here (sun-spots) and elsewhere.

I've had a chance to play with a machine running 4.0.1, and the
performance of DOS windows is improved.  Also Microsoft Windows seems to
work reasonably well within a SunView window.  In particular Windows is
smart enough to take advantage of the full size of the SunView window it
is running in (not just the tiny 25x80 window that most DOS applications
must run in).  There are many Windows-based applications (e.g. Excel) that
look mighty nice on a 16" or 19" Sun hi-res. screen!

I was told I should have my copy by Christmas (doesn't look like THAT will
happen).  If you don't have your copy yet you may want to call Sun and
make sure it is on the way.
