Pigboy - Re: "why would someone like CPQ see any value into something they might be able to do themselves (ie. big enterprise servers based on the same chip, and even software)? Should I assume NUMA with Merced is the huge difficulty?"

Yes for NUMA-Q.

Moreover, Sequent has an installed base of Corporate Customers using their (Sequent's) transaction servers. This installed base, and application software, provide an easy entry point for Compaq should they decide to purchase Sequent.

This all speculation on my part, but I would guess that some larger will go after Sequent in the not too distant future.
