Tony - Re: "we think UltraSPARC III-based servers might not be introduced until August/September. "

Intel should be introducing the ITanium around that time, and if Intel's customers start to ship ITanium systems BEFORE the UltraSparc III's ship, then major EGG-ON-FACE for Sun.

My guess is that UltraSparc III will not be competitive in the long run - SUN is expecting only 600 MHz.

Ergo, SUN will have to survive on MOMENTUM alone - milking their Solaris SOftware for all that it's worth.

Hopefully, if one of the ITanium OS's is scaleable and robust, look for SUN to be in a bind a year and a half from now.
