i have to hand it to you - you and twister are braver than i thought for even showing up on what is a great day for Sun - one would think you guys were paid to post for a living...but that could never happen...could it? I guess if Sun were like Compaq and showed a 95% drop in profit and flat revenue you would be crowing about Wintel (wait...isnt Compaq part of Wintel..i dont understand - arent they supposed to be doing well?) Face it - Sun is executing to perfection in this business climate and its driving you CRAZY!

Good! The sooner the better. Intel's "entry" into the enterprise market is a chip that was originally designed by HP, now known as "Merced" &, since the deal between SUNW & INTC late last year, it's going to run 64-bit Solaris. BTW, just a week or so ago, SUNW inked another deal with Fujitsu to market the enterprise machine with Intel chips under the Fujitsu name (which includes Amdahl). MSFT isn't even in the running, as they still fumble around with their 32-bit version of NT. The best BG can do is make noises about how he "plans on making a 64-bit version of NT" (someday). Eat your heart out, SUNW is king of the hill in the enterprise market & INTC is going to help them stay there.
