Jim - There are lots of machines which are faster than the UE10000, especially if you are willing to step outside the UNIX SMP space. When the next generation of Xeon chips hits, Intel IA32 products will double in performance, and will nearly double again with foster. In addition, the unit sales of UE10,000 units are not significant - in a market where thousands of server sales a day are common, UE10,000 sells hundreds in a quarter. Perhaps you are ignorant of the architectural benefits of switch fabric architecture and the ability to do dynamic partitioning, but it is important to the customers who are buying UE10,000. And as far as the price of the stock, how are you doing with those puts?
