Unless you are deploying Solaris into production, how are those kernels handling asynchronous loads.

Still plain old select(), poll() and AIO?

Yes, and they are plenty fast. The API could be more elegant, but it works fine. Mysql for example uses io_submit. So do oracle, sybase. It's just a matter of developer comfort. They work around it for us. Deployment-wise, linux runs circles around windows.

Having worked in several Java/.NET shops not everyone on our IT would agree with that, specially how easy it is to manage cluster deployments with AD.
