How can they be pragmatic when they say GNU/Linux is better fit to x86 systems? This way they are painting SPARC out of a potential market. IBM and its POP initiative are beginning to bear fruit, and Sun could have been there first, given it already had SPARC system builders a long time ago. These could have produced GNU/Linux SPARC systems to compete with Lindows and the such.
