From my understanding they are purposely making the TCP/IP stack weak (and say it is inheritly so) so that they can push TCP/MS and have the Microsoft Internet Protocol. BTW it does support IPv6 addressing scheme from what I heard. This gets me to pondering would it be M$v6? Hmmmmmmm,,,,,,,

*nix if you can find a position is good. I can't say about the future. I hope it will be incredible in the future. Right now it is not wide spread enough and I would consider it a speciality field. Solaris is spread out a bit in the corporate environment because it goes hand in hand with Oracle...
