Re: If the price were right, they'd probably make chips for Sun.

Tony,

I doubt it, one of two things would have to happen.

1) IBM would have to exit the server business

2) IBM management (all of it) would have to change

SUNW and IBM have gotton very personal lately. McNeely bashes IBM at every chance, IBM does the same to them. McNeely has really made us look like fools over the past few years. IBM management thinks it's time for payback because our technology has leap frogged them and thiers is really in disarray. You should see the propaganda they feed us. I'm sure it's just as bad at SUNW. At this point, I think IBM management would rather lose money over a personal vendetta to SUNW than license them a good technology. About the 3rd sentance into the first piece of literture I read about SOI stated we wouldn't be licensing it to people such as SUNW. It's gotton that personal. When McNeely speaks, trust me, we all hear his mocking of IBM. Personally, I don't think McNeely knows what he's got himself into.

OTOH- Intel seems to be one of our best friends.
