The second Scott ports a full version of Solaris to AMD64 (and consequently Nocona), Sunw will no longer be in the Hardware business. Scott knows this.

That is why the settlement with Microsoft was so vague as to how the two companies would "work together".

That is why he tubed the old Solaris86 for Intel in 2000.

That is why Fujitsu is going to make sparcs from now on.

Scott will try to fend off Solaris on "Industry Standard Architecture" for as long as possible to milk what is left of the hardware profits.

He knows he will have to eventually beat mircosoft at dot net. Can he? I don't think so, but I have been wrong before.

In the meantime he is going to try to make Opterons his dumb terminals for his sun servers.

As you point out, this wont work because the bottom line is the same. No one is dumb enough to get locked into a propietary software/hardware scheme. It didn't work for IBM's Microchannel, it won't work for Scott.
