Amy J. Thanx for your post.

Re: "m somewhat wondering why Intel didn't try a little harder to work things out with SUNW" My take on Intel is that probably did MANY times and have been stiffed. So they brought it out into the open, figuring being nice was not speaking the language SUNW could understand.

Re: "Dell will be the low-cost provider for less innovative solutions" You are more knowledgeable than I so I defer. My point is that Dell got an order for 10,000 servers for Intel's server farms. Barrett's 3 part mantra: price/performance, freedom of choice and innovation fits with the Dell approach. This does not leave out CPQ, but it does challenge them on the price/performance issue doesn't it?

Re:"SUNW doesn't own the Enterprise market and I think that is well-understood with Intel's top management." Again, I defer to your superior knowledge here. But doesn't SUNW's support for Itanium give Intel a big entreā€š into the enterprise? And wouldn't SUNW's weak support delay Intel's penetration into that space?
