Rob, you forgot to include the paragraph immediately following Sun's quote about Merced being a "development platform":

But Sun probably shouldn't be pointing fingers. The current UltraSparc II was due to be replaced by the UltraSparc III "Cheetah" in late 1999, according to Sun's chip road map. Though the first UltrasSparc IIIs are late, Sun will roughly keep up on schedule of speeds, saying the new chip will be available at 750 MHz.

Besides, I'm sure Sun knows that Itanium is targeting UltraSparc III, so their negative comments are to be expected. Personally, I would have preferred a warmer relationship between Sun and Intel, but maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
