We're on the scheme, and use Sun x86. Maybe it's different here in the UK, but it's been wonderfully pressure-free on the sales side and they've put an awful lot of effort into helping startups in ways other than selling cheap kit.
Obviously it's all out of self-interest, but it seems to me to be very much enlightened self-interest. Which isn't how you'd describe Oracle.
