At Comdex today Sun announced its intentions to add a
complete portfolio of AMD Opteron microprocessor-based
servers and desktops running Solaris(tm), Linux, and the
Java(tm) Enterprise System to Sun's entry-level family of
UltraSPARC and Xeon-based x86-based systems. Oracle, BEA,
SAP, Cadence, Computer Associates, Landmark Graphics,
Synopsys and Documentum are among the first enterprise
software providers to provide their horizontally scalable
applications on the new AMD Opteron hardware.

You forgot to mention the 500,000 to 1,000,000 Java Enterprise desktops they will be
selling in China. I hope Sun pulls it off and locks M$ out; the fate of
the unfree world is at stake.
