To increase fivefold SUNW would need monopoly power, something that only the likes of MSFT or INTC have come near.

And if Sun had that kind of power it would be in trouble with the Justice Department, just like MSFT. Intel too was in trouble with The Justice Department but reached an out-of-court settlement.

With the drop in computer prices there really isn't any reason why someone could not turn the Ultra Sparc into a home PC especially if Sun would sell it with turnkey solution so that the consumer can buy the box, take it home and plug it into the wall.

Prices for CPQ and IBM PCs will drop and so will the price for the Ultra Sparc, but with the Ulta Sparc you've got UNIX and Sun architecture at a reasonable price.

Cheers,

Mephisto
