What's strange about that, I have been saying it for years and against the commonly held Internet myth beliefs promoted by DeMone/chipguy and his cronies. US-IV+, Sparc64 VI, Niagara 1/2, it wasn't too difficult to work it out in advance if you didn't have an axe to grind 
.
LOL, after years of consistent decline SPARC finally got a revenue
growth blip from a user base upgrade cycle. Sun's SPARC sales
since then don't show any sort of revival and Sun's recent actions
(getting friendly with Intel, help optimize JVM for IPF, putting Solaris
on IBM x86 boxes and maybe even its in-house processors in the
future etc) suggests the pony tail guy doesn't see one any time soon
either if ever.
See slide 8 and 16 on Sun's most recent earnings presentation:

Sun's total server shipments down 15% YoY, x86 servers down
4% YoY. Ouch!
