Maybe it Sun's ability to offer the whole package???

In order to ensure reliability for the new system, Visa DirectExchange is based on Sun Enterprise(tm) servers, StorEdge(tm) arrays, the Solaris(tm) Operating Environment, and the Java(tm) 2 Enterprise Edition platform. ``With this announcement, Sun is dot-coming the largest and most reliable electronic payment system in the world,'' said Scott McNealy, Chief Executive Officer of Sun Microsystems. ``Visa isn't just about credit cards anymore. The Sun platform will enable Visa DirectExchange to allow transaction processes to expand beyond credit cards to all forms of payment.''
