...which is an even more innocuous reason for a dip.

If the switchover's revenue effects are really confined to a single quarter as planned, Sun's management will have pulled off a minor miracle, and this whole ripple will in fact represent good news rather than a problem. New mission-critical computer systems are high-risk. If Sun's works, hats off. Also, a good example for customers and prospects.

You won't see problems with its own system forcing Sun to switch to a competitor's system. Can't make that statement about everybody :-0.

Most people don't need full PCs, all of our data and documents will be stored on servers somewhere else...

Charles: Is SUNW recognized in the storage arena?

Dell announced it's adding product and that's ok. When the article mentions competitors, it leaves SUNW out. Is this part of SUNW still a secret? Will be interesting to see revenue next couple of quarters.
