Too low for IBM to continue to sell them at that price and make their expenses. They are playing the loss-leader game. There's nothing wrong with doing that, but sooner or later they are going to have to bring their prices back up to market.

Sun and IBM are competitors like Coke & Pepsi are competitors. It's a healthy competition. Before all is said and done these 2 will play divide and conquer of the server market.

Itanium is a piece of dogsh** & McKinley doesn't matter because it doesn't yet exist. Itanium was on the drawing board back in 1996. It is now 2001 and it never did make spec. Besides that, there's no O/S for Itanium and there won't be an O/S for McKinley.

Deal with what is not what you hope will be....
