Absolutely my experience.  We are a Solaris/Cisco shop primarily
bc of the contracts.  As a big company we have grand poobah
contracts with both companies that will land us a replacement
server/router/switch within a day.  That is a HUGE deal.  Bigger
than Sun hardware being better than i386, bigger than
performance, bigger than ease-of-use, etc..
