>The problem for SUN is that they may not be selling them for very much longer at which point in time the Sun board of directors may want to lure in Belluzzo with his PROVEN record of turning a proprietory company into a wintel reseller :-)

<The problem for SUN is that they may not be selling them for very much longer - I'd guess that the volumes will begin to slide in about 9 months - then plummet 18 to 24 months from now - once Intel's ITanium line is established in large, stable COST-EFFECTIVE systems> I thought some of that too. But IBM's S80 apparently hasn't dented UE10000 sales. The S80 is not only a better performer but it is much cheaper to run. Oracle charges per CPU and the S80 does more with 32 CPUs than UE10000 does with 60. This is one of IBM's "talking points" when going up against UE10000. That said, seems Sun has established itself in the minds of CIOs and the like as the de facto high-end Unix solution. I'm sure Scotty and Zanger have a plan Re: Itanicum Rob
