"..RE:
SUNW is an inefficient manufacturer of expensive proprietary boxes"

any one feel like were in a time warp here circa 1996 regarding Merced..er I mean Itanium (Titanium? Titanicum? McKinley?) and Win2K (NT? NT Data Center(ha!)?, yadda, yadda, yadda - wow the world has changed a lot in 4 years and all we got from the wintel camp in this time is new product names. 64 way IA-32 based systems have been around for years, notably by Sequent. Unisys and Data General have had 32 way systems for a while with 0 impact upon Sun - have you checked the investment grade of these companies recently?

# of applications for Merced = 0
# of installations using Merced = 0
# of times Merced is supposedly going to eat Sun's lunch = significantly higher number than question 1 or 2
