Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

I think Sun's CEO confirms my hypothesis of a Solaris everywhere strategy, though he doesn't go so far as to address IBM/HP non x86 systems directly.

...At Sun, as I said, it's tough to compete against a social movement, especially one in which we all believe. But compete against a single company, Red Hat? Finally. Now that Sun's Solaris operating system runs on Intel, AMD and Sparc systems, our customers have immense choice. We can deliver our products at a lower price point, we can deliver more and better features, more innovation, legendary security (the national security kind), and far better customer support and responsiveness - maybe not for a developer looking for real-time patches (yet), but certainly for the enterprise looking for an accountable vendor.
