Sun has always been known for poor/slow customer support, particularly when it comes to security holes. I remember them admitting this in the late 80's and announcing a major effort to address the problem, with few results. Multiple platforms, configurations, and architectures are no excuse for slow response time. If you've got that many variables, then you need to support that many variables. Sun grows because we buy their product. The more we buy, the more they offer. Does that mean that they're support should slow down as we buy more? Hardly. If anything, they're support should improve because they have more customers depending on them. -David
