Jonathon Swartz said: "Despite having what's arguably the single biggest competitive advantage our systems business has ever had, we've separated out our microelectronics business - and told them to win on the open market, as well. We signed our first OEM agreement with Marvell, through which we'll be collaborating to take our networking advancements to the marketplace. More broadly, our microelectronics team is free to sell to our competition. For the record, we'd be thrilled to supply, for example, a Niagara blade to HP or IBM for their blade servers - as well as to the larger market of networking, storage, automotive and industrial applications. It's a commodity market, after all - vast, growing, and in search of differentiation." In a word, "No". -- - Brian Gupta http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nycosug/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
