In some ways, SUNW's lower cost products canabalize their higher cost (higher margin) products.

<< Now introduce Linux and you have a cheap, powerful, UNIX workstation... When will we see this impacting SUNW workstation sales ? >>

You're looking at this all wrong. Sun is strong in the high-end UNIX machines - those things that make complex e-commerce sites run reliably. The number of e-commerce sites and the complexity of those sites is growing amazingly fast.

Fill the world with cheap PCs! Everyone one of them will access data from a network that relies on Sun hardware. Cheap PCs are pushing this whole data craze that is driving Sun sales.
