Eric:

Talk is cheap. When we see the numbers, we'll believe.

Larry Elison, for all his wisdom, has done a number of
stupid things. Unless he is withdrawing support for Solaris
(why should he support a dead architecture?) its all talk.

Other concerns:
What happens to Solaris may also happen to AIX, HPUX too.
Whatever is happening to OS may also happen to DBMS too.

So, who'll be the winners? I guess that's the question we
are here on this thread for ::-)

Regards
-D

"seems IBM, HP and Compaq have all dropped their processor development and placed their future in the hands of Intel's Itanium and follow ons."

While I will grant you that Compaq has, and HP might have, although they have backed away from plans to transition to Itanium before, are you certain that IBM has announced they will kill their Power series in favor of Itanium?
