Even I think this is bull: "Silicon Spat: Sun vs. Intel: Meanwhile, when it wasn't showing off hot new processors at its balmy developers forum in Palm Springs, Intel was mixing up it with Sun. Intel said it will withdraw most of the resources it has devoted to porting Sun's Solaris operating system to its high-end 64-bit chip architecture. The company says it made the move because Solaris is a loser, also-ran operating system (well, it didn't use those exact words), but analysts and others (not to mention Sun) quickly pointed out that Intel's new strategy -- to enter hardware and e-commerce markets -- makes Sun a big competitor, never mind that Sun makes its own high-end processors. Then there's Linux, which meant that Intel doesn't need Sun to run Unix." upside.com
