Another orchestrated Wintel press release - makes you wonder why a company would announce they are only going to use NT and Intel AND they plan to phase out their existing UNIX workstations. Boy that really gives a lot of leverage to Chryslers purchasing department.

Several years ago a large wall street firm did a similar release which was orchestrated by Intel and Compaq. Nothing came of it except the typical microsoft FUD that NT is taking over the world. I have done consulting for this company and their infrastructure is still IBM and Hitachi Skyline Mainframe based with a good mix of Solaris on the trading floor and NT. 6 months ago we did a data warehousing pilot for this company and NT was not even invited to the party.

btw - this is not a loss for Sun as Chysler was standardized on Silicon Graphics workstations.
