Re: There's no way Intel would like to see Solaris succeed on Intel processors Huh? That doesn't make any sense. Why would Intel care which OS was running on their chips? If they really thought Microsoft was their achilles heal in servers (which I think they do), they would support **ANY operating system that could move them into the mid and high end. Give me one good reason why Intel would oppose Solaris IF** they thought Solaris could move them into more lucrative server markets. Like I said before, I think Sun is being VERY smart by not putting much, if any, effort into supporting IA64. Their are much better things Sun can be doing with their time and money. If you take that criticism at face value, chic, there's this bridge I'd like to sell you Hell no I don't take this at face value. I take this as a clear sign that IA64 is in trouble as a key vendor could obviously care less if their OS supports IA64. Intel is pissed off about this. chic BTW- You might enjoy this: on24.com
