Gap just bought Sun. Gap was on their back in the bubble due to a management blunder. Now they're back, they could have bought Dell Linux servers and nothing else as you seem to think everyone is doing. They ended up buying Sun hardware, Websphere middleware and thinkpads. I'm sure the transaction volume to the online store and their desire to mine the data was part of the reason for the Sun hardware. It must be a real challenge for Sun to sell into the Gap when Robert J. Fisher, billionaire scion of the Gap's founder, sits on the boards of both companies. He's been a director of SUNW since 1995.
