That is an interesting question. As far as I can see it has not hurt the hardware business. The low-end desktop/server (untra 5/10/60) products (according to my friends who work at SUN sales), could not meet demand. Apparently the market forcasting at SUN way underestimated the popularity of those products. While the mid-range (Enterprise 450) to high end (Enterprise 6000-10000) has been growing at a rapid rate. I don't know how much SUN makes from selling softwares, but they generate a lot of revenue in providing services for those softwares. - Chung >>> Sun is supporting Intel's processor including the Xeon processor. Do you think this will hurt Sun hardware business since it competes with the Sparc processor, at least in the low end enterprise market? Although they are going to use the Solaris operating system, but how much Sun makes from the software business? H.Wai <<<
