i have a feeling sun will not be losing any sales to this donovan people..
:) because all sparc hardware is expensive, whether made by axil, sun,
ross, tatung, or whatever..
i also have a feeling solaris won't be losing to linux on sparc hardware..
you but that expensive hardware that's not cost-effective (bang-per-buck)
compared to intel BECAUSE of solaris, not because the hardware is good (it
is, but not THAT good). solaris is still better than linux in many ways. i
can think of just one: for running oracle.
