Mary,
I just read Paul's response to your post and must agree. Wintel is a ways from being a contender in the high-end Unix market. However, Intel is not so far away as Unix OS systems run on Intel platforms. Even so, progress will be slow.

A more likely scenario is for a serious erosion of the high end market by customers who change their implementation and/or growth strategies from having large Sun servers to having multiple WINTEL servers. (Like minicomputers did to mainframes and microcomputers did to minicomputers.)

MSFT has a ways to go before enterprise level mission critical apps will be on NT--but it will happen.
