- Supporting all major OS's: Linux, Solaris, Windows

- Supporting all major CPU architectures: Intel, AMD, SPARC64, OpenSPARC

- Pressing ahead with groundbreaking OS subsystems like: ZFS, DTrace

- Providing (perhaps the first) industry-standard kernel level disk/file sharing solutions: NFS, CIFS, iSCSI

- Driving virtualization like: Crossbow, Comstar, Zones, Solaris Containers, LDom, xVM/Xen, Hardware Domains, Virtual Box

- Virtualization management solutions, via xVM Ops Center, for robust internally developed virtualization solutions as well as externally developed solutions like: Xen, VMWare

- Leading the market in multi-core technology, watching vendors all copy-cat

- Supplying the first real open storage solution from a system's vendor

- Supplying the first real Microsoft Office competitive desktop suite for diverse operating systems

- Supplying free robust database and support with the OS: Postgres
