The rule of caveat emptor applies to ALL software. Buy from someone like
Egghead that lets you take it back if you don't like it. The same applies
to mail order.

I'm suprised that people buy software for "futures". There are a lot of lying
scum out there selling things they have no intention of delivering. Sometimes,
even honest companies can't deliver what they promised.

You should buy software for what it does for you here and now. Not for any of
that "strategic roadmap" diarrhea that comes from the mouths of lying Liberal
Arts Marketing Slime. I've had to relearn this lesson so many times. I suspect
others have, also.

Now, to make this diatribe at least somewhat relevant to the subject line.

You should buy ISC Unix 3.2 NOW for what it does for you NOW. Buy svr4 Unixes
for what they do for you NOW. If you think you want Solaris, then wait till
SunSoft delivers it instead of buying something with the idea of upgrading.

My sympathies to those who got screwed on Intel/ISC svr4. Don't repeat the same
mistake by buying into vaporware again.
