This ought to do wonders for the morale of the people left at SUN. Great move by the board once again. What's left of management isn't much better.

This was a really weak review; it can't be used to extrapolate comparisons with future Intel products. See these comments and explanations about why the review isn't useful:

In particular, the test did not use Solaris on the SPARC-based Niagara, or configure Apache to leverage the hardware.

Ubuntu may at some point get good performance on SPARC, but
it's only recently been available and isn't optimized for Niagara.
