"Please note: Sun is deferring the productization and release of the
Solaris 9 OE for Intel IA-32. We will continue to sell and support Intel
versions of the Solaris 8 OE. Per normal lifecycle policy it will remain
available and supported under normal terms until mid CY2004, and supported
under contract for up to five years beyond that date.

At this time, we have discontinued Solaris 8 OE for Intel downloads. While
we have discontinued the download program, we have also slashed the price
of Solaris 8 OE for Intel media kits by 40% to $45 US (plus S/H).

Downloads for Solaris 8 OE for SPARC platforms will continue to be
available."
