Yes Solaris x86 is being around but how much has it affected the bottom line. Sun makes most of it't money selling hardware and systems which include Software. So discussions of revenue which I was responding to are not quite relevant when a product doesn't affect the bottom line.
Also Sun sent mixed messages to customers about Solaris x86 over the years. It is only recently that Sun has comitted to x86-64 as a platform and Solaris x86 as a viable product. Solaris x86 was never as feature complete as Solaris SPARC. All of which makes this a failry recent development to judge the affect of this strategy on Sun's future revenues.
