I'm looking to move away from Solaris.
I'm a big Sun guy. I own a number of Sparc and x86 Sun servers running Solaris. However a bug in patch 139139-07 (released in 11/2008) has resulted in a situation where the boot archive becomes corrupted when applying any patch that changes the boot archive. Thus requiring a recovery step after rebooting the server. This is completely unacceptable. I shouldn't have to perform a recovery proceedure when applying certain (as yet unknown) patches.

I'd like to continue using Solaris. However I cannot continue to use it under these circumstances. If Sun wants to see Solaris on more systems they can start by making sure it doesn't suffer from problems that force people to move to alternatives.
