Now, since you are the only intelligent poster on this thread (according to you anyway), please answer my question. How will these products kill Sun in 3 years like you predicted? Dave, you must be a journalist. You tend to misread/misquote what I said. I didn't predict sunw would be defunt in 3 years. I merely pointed out that it is a possibility. Things can change rapidly. It was more a reference to Netscape. Here today gone tomorrow. Remember there was a rumor IBM would buy SUNW, but then IBM regained their senses and said "No Way". So you see it really is a possibility. I don't see them as a threat to Sun's server growth. I am sure this time you will surprise all of us with your ability to give a coherent answer defending your statement. Or maybe you will just say I've been hitting the crack pipe again. I'll give that option 2 to 1. As for Xeon and Windows NT I think you are underestimating MSFT and INTC's ability to challange the Unix gang. Dale
