SUNW eats HWP's Unix offering. By contrast, the weak performance in Unix servers has long been a problem, as Hewlett-Packard has steadily lost market share to Sun. Though Hewlett-Packard now has a competitive product line, analysts said the company still lacked the focus Sun brings to the market. The thrust of Sun's sales pitch is that Unix is the most robust operating system and that Sun's version of Unix, Solaris, is the most advanced.
