[nycbug-talk] sun + ms

[Brian Gupta]

Sun and Microsoft just certified (again I might add) that Windows runs
on Sun's x86 HW. Non event people. Windows is certified to run on
every Tier 1 server vendor's x86 HW. The fact that Sun and Microsoft
have been enemies in the past, I guess creates some sort of reality
distortion.

Remember Microsoft makes money selling Software. (they dont' care
who's) Sun makes money selling HW. (ANd frankly they don't care what
runs on it)

This deal goes back at least two years by the way, they are just
banging the same drums again, to try and build up Sun's HW sales).

Now if Microsoft had announced a Sparc port that would be something.

Cheers,
Brian
