Sun in fact want to discontinue the Solaris for Intel platform a year ago but receive a lot of critisim from the user community. So they revived it.
-----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 1:49 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I first installed Solaris 2.5 on Intel (AMD actually) on a 386/40 with 8Mb RAM. It ran fine. Sun pretty well shot its Intel market the same way IBM blew its OS2 market: Overpriced the crap out of the OS and development tools. By the time they woke up and noticed that the market had moved on to other stuff, it was too late for a price drop to do any good. I'm wonder why Sun keeps the X86 version around. Maybe Scott is just stubborn. -----Original Message----- Anyone have ideas on this? http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/cmp/20030206/tc_cmp/iwk200302 06s0012 Sun is now going after the intel market too. Is this just a new version of their Solaris x86, or a completely new build? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Stephen Lee INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
