Addi,

I am also considering buying into sunw but am concern about the unix's erroding market share.

There seems to be a definite threat from the wintel platform to the sun machines. This was not the case a year ago when intel chip is just not performance competitive. There are some anetodal (sic?) stories where wintel has replaced sun, even in the tech/engineering environment. Since even my engineering friends are replacing their sun workstations with wintels, it makes me uncomfortable investing in sunw. I also hear that the DEC server is actually faster than the fastest sunw server in the networking environment.

I also believe java will be big, but how is sunw going to make money from it?

This stock is selling at a very low valuation (close to 1X sale), but I am just not sure about the long term prospect.
