Sun's opportunistic behavior

This comes from desperation. Intel managed to get a performance advantage with Woodcrest, which AMD will take away when it ships its Quad-cores. The leapfrogging can go on forever. Rather than make a bold move and take advantage of Torrenza, where they could slap floating point or SSL co-processors on the HT bus, Sun continues to produce mediocre me-too hardware.

This company is now run by software guys who are desperate to "monetize" whatever IP they have left that is of any value. Maybe Solaris IS better than Linux for now, but they advantage is constantly eroding.
