Just had a weird thought. Everybody knows how much Scott is against reselling Windows but if SUN were to port Windows NT on their UltraSPARC architecture would it make great business sense? Since NT cannot really scale, it's not much of a threat to the high end Unix systems. SUN could beat the crap out of other Intel based resellers like Compaq, Dell, HP,.. just because their workstations are much better and UltraSPARC III will be the fastest processor later this year? I'm really not sure how much effort would be needed to port it to another architecture. I'd think that doing this would help SUN sell more hardware and thereby more money to spend on Java. It's not going to happen but if it did, it'll send shivers down the spine of Compaq, Dell, HP,... Cheers, Babu
