I've finally convinced myself that Oracle have really killed Sun off now.
My Solaris Subscription has expired and I cannot seem to get Oracle to send me
a quote - what was wrong with buying off the web page?

The response time from Oracle is just dreadful - 4 days to respond to a request
and then it was palmed off on somebody who was on Holiday.

Patches seem to be inaccessible - anybody know what a "Organization Number" is?

I do not understand why they have done this?
Why is everything so difficult now?

Its a real shame, I do not much like Linux volatility and binary compatibility.
What other than Solaris?
Maybe FreeBSD or a Mac?

Anybody else having better luck?

John.

I have the same problem, BUT it was not possible to renew it on the web
for a year ago either so Oracle did not make it worse.

Just wait and see, in a few months more it will most likely start to
work I hope.

No. My request went through 3 people, the third of whom asked me for my
expired sevice number, and then never got back to me.

If oracle doesn't want your money, IBM does.
