QS - I'm surprised at you!! The COBT line is not only AMD it's OLD AMD, 450MHz K6 product. And they have not managed to sell much product despite having a 1 year head start on the big boys. My real concern is why SUNW did not just create their own product - it is easy enough to do, this is pretty low-tech stuff and Sun already has the components. A little rework on an Ultra 5S and you're there. Could have highlighted the many manageability features of an integrated Solaris solution, probably for about $20M in development cost - 1% of the COBT acquisition. Instead we get a completely incompatible product which has been losing in the marketplace, at an astronomical price??
