There is pricing :(

I would much rather run solaris (although the heretic in me prefers 4.1.3) but I want 
Sun's developers environment and C/C++ compiler as well.  Manuals would be a nice touch
and support for a wide range of PC hardware ....

I feel Sun have got the pricing way wrong for the home user. Get it shipping for a
similar price to NT/MS C would be an idea.

Ian
