Paul,

RE: strategy due to economic realities.
How about TPC,MFLOPS/$$$,Decrypts/sec? Either way the consumers will benefit from this.

Realistically do you think with competition SUNW will be able to command the price? There goes your profits, growth multiples?

Solaris is gaining popularity but HPUX has an advantage on IA-64. Interesting to see who will stand out in the end. Maybe both the OSes will flourish on IA-64, through Linux into the mix, the margins on Solaris will be vaporize.

Breaking down the cost of the system on the high end servers probably will be:

30% hardware,
40% software,
30% services.

If small players can provide hardware (IA-64 boxes), Linux with value added software to make it internet server backbone?
What will that do the internet server market?
Where will SUNW be?
Maybe Scot sees this coming.

interesting battle shaping up. Already trends are appearing on the horizon. By the way competition reacts & conducts itself.
