We were discussing Sun and their reputation, they are unlikely to put a product out that doesn't scale beyond 2 way So, that would a litmus test, wouldn't it? May be Sun knows a few more things than we do. Sun btw is also losing a lot of 1/2 cpu webservers to Linux PCs and while those are cheaper in unit price, the volume is probably substantial. The 64-256 processor Linux IMHO is not a current threat. Future, ah! we shall see. I don't see customers driving in big numbers to load up on those S/390 class machines running Linux. Maybe you have better data, you can share here. regards -D
