Pigboy - Re: "Is this an oxymoron or am I not seeing clearly?"

This statement is consistent with Sun's posture on CPU architecture.

They will port Solaris to the IA64 Merced architecture - to run on Merced servers manufactured by x86 server manufacturers - Compaq, Dell, etc.

Sun will continue to design, build and sell UltraSparc based servers and workstations, which will run, as usual, on Solaris.

Sun claims to have no interest - EVER - in making Merced-based hardware. That's what they currently say.

In the future, I would assume they will be pragmatic enough to make what their customers demand - Sparc, Merced or whatever.
