Scott McNealy used to take shots at Microsoft for not porting Windows to Sun’s architecture but those were the days when Sun was obsessed with annoying Microsoft. Now that the cold war between the two is over it might be worth reviving the idea. Windows on Alpha wasn’t a complete failure and Sparc offers a lot more volume than Digital ever did. The latest SunFire boxes are screamers and sip power. Microsoft needs to show it’s taking security, stability and the environment seriously so the timing would be good. Two, a merger.
