"This means customers can select their favorite [operating system] and get the benefits of Intel servers. It expands options available to [equipment manufacturers] and [information technology] managers. We're very pleased and very excited with Sun's commitment to bring this to the Intel architecture," Miner said. Scheerder said Windows NT doesn't offer customers the same flexibility as Solaris. "NT [is largely used for] file and print services, not enterprise computing. Close to 50 percent of [machines connected to] the Internet run on Solaris. Sun, combined with Java and other network management systems, gives business a network platform to deploy the enterprise on," he said. For Intel, the agreement represents an unexpected endorsement. The Merced chip -- targeted primarily at high-end workstations and servers -- was jointly designed by Intel and Sun's archrival, Hewlett-Packard Co. Sun will benefit in its competition with Microsoft Corp., which is pitting a future version of the Windows NT operating system against Solaris. In addition, Sun will support Merced while still supporting its own microprocessor, Ultrasparc. --by staff writer Cyrus Afzali
