@chipguy Here's what Sun, the great white hope of droids everywhere, did last quarter in x86 sales:

I think you better read that article more carefully.


The company shipped 13,002 servers with Intel's Xeon processor in the first nine months of 2004, of which 58 percent used Linux. For Opteron servers, Sun shipped 10,566, of which 73 percent used Linux. For x86 servers overall, 65 percent shipped with Linux."

Nothing about last quarter. But if you are interested they did increase x86 server sales by 160% last quarter on YoY basis.
