tejek, re: Is it that or that they are more comfortable with Intel in general in spite of their friction? Sun will keep their options open and I'm sure it's tough to make this announcement after all the public name calling. Sun doesn't design chipsets, so they need to partner with a PC maker or use standard chipsets offered by Intel or ServerWorks. That's if they want their Linux machines to support more than one CPU. It's unclear to me what they mean exactly by "low end" sever market. Considering they already have the Cobalt servers running one cpu (P3 1ghz), I'm thinking they're talking about something a little bigger. But even with the history, I'm pretty sure McNealy knows he can't make Chicken Salad with Chicken Shit.
