That's true, but remember volume is the vaccine. The question is can they start building their x86 volumes and software revenue up as fast as they lose sparc revs. I think the jury is still out on this one.

Lot's of businesses would like x86-64 enterprise grade systems. This is virgin territory for Sun as they only recently got into the biz. Their volumes are picking up (triple digit growth) and the good stuff (Kealia) hasn't even hit the market yet. I plan to wait and see.

There are several catalysts in the pipeline: Solaris 10 (ZFS, dtrace, containers, updated TCP/IP stack, etc.), Opteron systems, Sun Rays, multi-core CPUs, subscription pricing, etc. Where else in the computing world is there as much innovation? Certainly not at HP or Dell.

JMHO.
