Funny I was just reading that:- http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/support/sol8.xml On August 16, 2006 Sun announced the transition of the Solaris 8 OS. Per this transition: * November 16, 2006 was the last date Solaris 8 media kits could be ordered * Sun shipped Solaris 8 media up until February 16, 2007; Solaris 8 media kits are no longer available * Solaris 8 entered retirement support mode Phase I on March 31, 2007; * Solaris 8 will enter retirement support mode Phase II on March 31, 2009; and, * Solaris 8 will reach the end of its service life on March 31, 2012. The total service life of Solaris 8 will thus be slightly more than 12 years. Angus -- Multizone Limited, Product Management, Sales and Marketing for Independent Software Vendors Angus Fox, Director
