<The INTC miss just highlights the competish in the x86 space. This spells trouble for SUNW...> The other post was ready as well, just in case: "INTC beating estimates just highlights the competish in the x86 space. This spells trouble for SUNW..." Either way, big trouble for SUNW, huh? <G>

I see innovation in many areas... Let me first say that I think Java is a great language but we can't ignore that Sun has stumbled with it and the thin client idea: 1. Java & Java add-ons (ie. Jini , JFC) - great language but Sun has failed to make it fully commercially acceptable. - 3 years and still buggy 2. Thin Client - 3 years of talk and no commercially viable product I think Java still has a good chance but I'm concerned about Sun being the controller of it. Based on long SUNW's on this thread idea #2 must work ... it's Sun's desktop strategy. Regarding AMD they've got the performance lead now on INTC with K7 Athlon. Average chip prices have increased and I think they will do very well if they can keep production quotas.
