Zeitler sounded bullish about the prospects of running Solaris on the
System Z mainframes.

"It is certainly something we would like to see happen," he said. "We
don't have an agreement signed. (But) you should look to see it happen
in the future for sure."

In a real shocker, Zeitler also noted that he "would like to see" some
Solaris on System P work, which would have Solaris compete head-to-head
with AIX.

Additionally, Sun and IBM have launched a co-engineering effort to
improve the performance of Solaris on IBM's hardware.</quote>
