Valgrind runs on x86 and PPC (still experimental). IIRC, Purify "runs" on Solaris, HPUX, Windows (x86), and SGI? (I tried to verify but the IBM site isn't responding.) IMO that's not a lot.

That's more than valgrind. Specifically, it includes solaris, which is where we happen to run Purify most often (better results than win32).

Where Purify "running" is relative to any particular patch you have installed on the system and if you can download a beta. I stopped using Purify because Rational was so awful to deal with.

While I agree that Rational was terrible to deal with, Purify is the only option available to some users, and it seems like a bad idea to remove something from the distribution while it provides benefit to some people, while not affecting those who don't wish to use it.
