fx: look towards the futurefx: look towards the futurePosted Aug 3, 2003 14:38 UTC (Sun) by walterbyrd (guest, #11620)In reply to: fx: look towards the future by fx Parent article: Sun Sees Road To Prosperity Paved With Its Own Products (TechWeb) From what I can see, sunw is barely holding it's own against HP and IBM. There is this article from a few days back: http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7BCAD48FC8-1EBF-4496-AC0F-4FB0FC869E24%7D&siteid=google&dist=google But, I was really discussing the threat from Linux, FreeBSD, and even MS-Windows. All of those OSes are growing, while all the proprietary UNIXes seem to be shinking.

fx: look towards the future Posted Aug 4, 2003 14:00 UTC (Mon) by fx (guest, #12077) [Link] SUN is doing quite well compared to HP and IBM. What you're looking at are server sales including Intel equipment. These numbers are not very meaningful. Of course there are a countless number of 1U or 2U low-end systems shipped running NT or Linux, but that's not SUN's real market.There are numerous other recent articles that'll tell you SUN is holding quit well. What's more important: during the .com boom SUN has taken a very big chunk of the UNIX market away from IBM and HP.
