"... For instance, IBM, HWP and CPQ can certainly provide a
better solution than Sun (just a little bit more expensive)."

Can you back this silly statement up? Sun is near ubiquitous in high transaction Web environments so even if Sun were involved in the Etrade failure its more a sign that leading edge, high transaction environments are built on Sun. The only valid part of your statement that makes sense is that alternatives usually are more expensive and that perhaps a mainframe can give better availability in return for much higher costs, no software and what software there is costs a fortune, and no trained personnel.

If its so obvious that even you know that IBM, HP and CPQ provide better solutions how come there are so few of these above mentioned vendors providing Internet infrastructures (try www.netcraft.com and ping a couple high profile sites)?
