SUN Microsystems We had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Sun's COO, Jonathan Schwartz, yesterday. We talked about a variety of things, including Java, Solaris, Red Hat and good ol' Unix.

"No, Apple does not need to 'realize' that, as it is not the case. IBM's POWER architecture is quite capable. Supporting x86 and AMD64 does NOT buy them anything in the 'enterprise'."

Of course it does. It buys them affordable rack mount servers that can be bought for $700. It also buys them affordable branch office servers that can be bought for $400 like Dell has. You can't touch an Apple POWER box for anything near that price. Their cheapest single CPU model is around $1,800.
