Even if no SPARC workstation is ever sold again after the end of
the current UltraSPARC-IIIi line, it's not the end of the SPARC
desktop, nor of being able to develop and/or run SPARC desktop
applications.
Other options include:
- Sun Rays running off a SPARC server
- Using X11 to remote display 2-D apps from a SPARC server to
another box
- Using VirtualGL/Sun Shared Visualization to remote display 3-D
renderings from a SPARC server to another box
- Using Transitive software to run SPARC applications on x86 boxes
