Steve - RE: "Of course, you will not hear Scott M. say anything about ditching the SPARC since this would suggest an inferior product and hurt the present business"

Notice that you DON'T hear McNealy strutting his tough about SUN's UltraSparc III processor which was due in the Summer of 1998, then late in 1998, then early 1999, then mid 1999, then late 1999 and now.....it isn't even mentioned !

From a source I have, I have learned that the UltraSparc III is STILL NOT FUNCTIONAL - and it is 18 months LATE - and getting later.

Thus - your speculations may prove very very accurate.

Sun may easily "transition" to an Intel IA/64 customer - more out of necessity, however.
