• Priority Bug Fixes: Bugs filed by customers are handled differently for faster turn-around time, and fixes are delivered in patch releases (in addition to normal community releases like all the other bugs do.)
• Dedicated e-mail alias: Sun experts will answer your questions on a dedicated customer only e-mail alias.
