>> The people who opt for Sun workstation can't be all wrong, right?

Well it's still double the price. If what Mike said is right I think they should reduce margins on those things and try and get them down closer to PC prices. Double the price of a PC is still a little high and any company with a clean slate (no PC's or workstations) would probably opt for PC's. I think the bulk of the workstation sales are existing customers (upgrades) and customer pickup from HP/DEC/IBM. They need to tap into that PC space; maybe a price reduction and making them a little hipper looking (like the MAC) ??? Also UNIX is hurting big time for some good integrated office productivity software.
