Just when are we going to get a new CEO, CFO? This stock is disgusting.

what is the value of the market for large servers (those needing 64bit OS) vs all the rest that can "get by" with a six cylinder powered OS? does anyone break this out? thanks, vincent

No doubt, which is why HP's apparent migration NT is so baffling and why I am convinced that Sun is the alternative OS to Windows NT going forward, IMHO.

"NT still doesn't scale worth jack. There is no way NT will be able to handle the requirements of the large server market where Sun's UE10k, SGI's Origin 2k and HP's V-class play." Interestingly, I remember very clearly when people used to say exactly the same thing about Solaris. In 1992 it didn't even scale well to 4 cpus. The whole scaling thing is a bad point to base any arguments on because scaling to 16 processors requires no magic, only some basic engineering. Things can change overnight. Pat
