The Solaris on Itanium discussion stalls again

From the article:"...Intel would be well served to shift some of its attention from HP and to look to Sun for help boosting the prospects of Itanium. Even the biggest fans of Windows and Linux know these OSes have years to go before they can compete with Unix on the highest-end jobs. Customers appear to recognize this and are asking for Solaris, according to Intel...."

..."..."In the end, it's Sun's call," added Nimish Modi, VP in Intel's enterprise group...."

=============================================================

Sounds like SUNW could provide Intel a software OS platform in SOLARIS if they all wanted to move forward together. I think SUNW should go for it and promote the Itanium chip along with the AMD line. This will make a good bridge between their next generation chip and an easy migration path for their customers.
