Anybody know the status of the Sun SOLARIS OS port to the Merced 64-bit chip....Are we on track? I would like to see how Solaris 7.0 performs with this new (next generation) processor and how it compares to the current SPARC chip performance.

The boxmakers may now be motivated to per-load Solaris as the server OS of choice if Sun shows the market the performance characteristics w/ Merced vs the other Unix or MS options.
