Don't you find it ironic that the more desktop systems empower individual users the greater the need for ever-more-powerful servers networking equipment and storage devices??

There is no "either-or" in the centralized vs. distributed debate. That debate was an ongoing expression of too little overall computing power for an organization. Users wanted more access to data and computing, and they finally got it via desktop systems. For every department-level manager who wants to corral the data in his area there is a corporate honcho who wants to make sure the data is secure.

SUNW has it coming and going. They have the desktops AND the servers. That's not an example of irony. It's an example of excellence in engineering.

Even when M$FT and INTC are being *crushed* in the server market, there are still people who think somehow, some way they will wind up marginalizing the big systems players. Dream on.
