dailynews.yahoo.com Some interesting excerpts: On the other hand, Sun is already losing performance-measurement battles with IBM, and Big Blue will have upgraded its high-end line a second time by the time a replacement for the E10000 arrives. IDC's Josselyn said IBM has "definitely been able to sell very hard against their competitors, HP and Sun in particular, with a box that basically has No. 1 position in almost every benchmark out there." IBM shipped 1,000 S80s in the product's first 100 days, ten times the rate of the first 100 days of the E10000 two years ago, said Technology Business Research analyst Jim Garden. The IBM machines cost less and offer higher performance than Sun machines, analysts say. "It's fair to say IBM has made an incredible comeback in this space," he said. "The giant has awoken." For example, IBM kicked out Sun as the company whose server runs Network Solutions' "A" server, the primary computer that remembers the names and addresses of all the computers attached to the Internet. The system is essentially the master card catalog for the entire Internet. THE WATSONYOUTH
