While it's way too soon to say Sun is back on track, the return of Bechtolsheim, aggressive improvements in products and a healthy dose of humility among Sun's executives mean the troubled company and its investors have more cause for optimism than they've had in years.

Regarding scepticism about Solaris x86 - its interesting how that they released the Linux version of their SUN Ray software (version 3.0) before their Solaris x86 version - you'd think with all the hype and promise that they're now back behind Solaris x86, they would be put the Linux version on the back burner in favour of pushing the Solaris x86 out before the Linux version, as proof that they're serious when it comes to supporting and developing products for the Solaris x86 environment.
That doesn't mean Sun is neglecting Solaris 10 x86, nor does it mean that Sun is not spending hundreds of millions on developing Solaris x86. It just means that Sun is listening to it's customers, and if they want a Linux version of Sun Ray more than the Solaris x86, then Sun is going to privide it. In any case, I wouldn't read too much into it.
