Chic, <From what I've read about the USIII release, it's all smoke and mirrors to mask bigger problems at Sun> Ironically, the UltraSparc III release might have been rushed due to Itanium's imminent (pilot) release next month. And I thought Itanium was supposed to be the poster child for schedules that constantly slip. Tenchusatsu

Chic - Re: "From what I've read about the USIII release, it's all smoke and mirrors to mask bigger problems at Sun. It looks like they are only going to have single processor workstations for the rest of the year. Deadlines for servers keep slipping into the distant future." They sure made a big HOOPLA of an announcement today. However, SUN did fess up that their UltraSparc IV and V CPUs have now slipped into late 2001 and late 2002, respectively. Of course these have been "respec'ed" to about 230,000 GHz ! Paul
