I did not expect to actually follow through on open sourcing their operating system but they actually did it! I am very impressed... I hope their market share doesn't decline too dramtically because they have been innovators in many many areas of computing (networking, dtrace, staroffice, etc.)
I hope your Niagra chip beats most others, if you can squeeze more throughput out of your niagara chip, then you will have an easier time regaining market share. I would imagine that both Oracle and SAP both will want to port to the Niagara chip because more CPUs threads means more throughput for their app (not exactly, but in general more CPUs on the same core is great for increasing throughput).
