I'll be glad to see the III's shipping, but only when they're available in quantity and without any snags. I'm pretty sure Sun management is in a better position to pick the right date than am I. <g>

Re: "I sense that when Scott and Ed talk about working on Quality issues across the board in earnest, they really mean it and it's not some lame inference as to why the follow on servers aren't on the trucks. --- I'm hesitant to say 'Sun needs this or that' when Sun Management is saying something else." So you would expect Sun to come out and admit UltraSparc III is really late and they need to get on the stick?? Come on now. Sun's credibility is at an all time high and ANYTHING they say at this point will be unquestionably accepted. It's the opposite for IBM. But perceptions can change over time and the longer Sun delays the release allowing IBM to grab headlines and perhaps some market share, the less invincible Sun will appear.I don't see how this could be good.
