I love my SunRays.

I can surf the internet on Firefox without having to restart my browser for months via a SunRay... unlike my PC, where I have to restart my browser a couple times a day.

Besides that, I've never had malware infect a Solaris'ish based SunRay, while I had a PC infected via web malware. I prefer to surf places I don't know on a SunRay.
