The report also says that HP is well-positioned to take over the No. 1 position in the combined UNIX(R) system and NT workstation
market from Sun Microsystems Inc. [Nasdaq:SUNW - news] this quarter.


The only problem I have with this 'news' is that I have never been aware that SUNW was competing in the "combined UNIX(R) system and NT workstation market".

I bet GM is also beating them in the "combined UNIX(R) system and Sports Utility Vehicle market" too.

Woof.. just think if GM puts out a report tomorrow the stock will drop another 5 points.

Feh.

>> there was a report that HP will eat SUN's lunch...

Based on hwp's performance today, I don't think you can blame sunw's dip on their success. In fact, I'm pretty sure there is no concrete reason; just the tech sector showing it can be volatile when it wants.
