Joe, Re: "Didn't Intel say that Intel based servers gained ground at expense of Sun?" They did last quarter, but this quarter seems to be different. The only thing that I don't understand is how these results seem to differ from results from the exact same market analyst (Gartner Dataquest) one quarter ago. Dated February 25, 2002: "Worldwide, second-place Sun dropped 2 percent, to 15.4 percent, while third-place Compaq dropped 0.9 percent, to 13.9 percent, and fourth-place HP dropped 0.1 percent, to 12.8 percent. Fifth-place Dell Computer eked out a 0.1 percent gain to 6.4 percent." techupdate.zdnet.com So one press release says that Sun drops 2 percentage points to 15.4% market share from 2000 to 2001, while in the next quarter, a second press release says they enjoyed a y-y growth from 21.4% to 23.6%.
