You can run Word on a Sun 386i as a virtual DOS machine.  And knowing the Sun
graphics interface I would probably expect it to be more Mac-ish if a port is
done.  If you want DOS compatability, get a Sun 386i or put an IPC (PC/AT VME
board) in it.  I don't expect MS to play ball with Sun.  MS did a botched up
enough job with Xenix until SCO took the ball and now has been making slam
dunks ever since.  MS even owns stock in SCO from what I have heard.
