AMD64 is very very popular in South Korea!
I'm always interested in Sun's stock price --- not only does it have an effect on how our customers perceive us, it has an effect on me too because I'm a shareholder via our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. And one day, when the stock price goes up enough I might be able to cash in some options. I doubt that will happen for a long time though --- my options are at whole-number multiples of the current price 
Anyway, with the StorageTek acquisition approved in Europe and finalised in the USA the stock went up. Which is always nice to see.
And then I noticed that this new release about the South Korea Ministry of Education's National Education Information System buying 1200 Sun Fire V40z servers to seed middle- and high-schools with around that nation.
I see this as a poke in the eye for those people who reckon Sun can't make any traction in the educational arena, let alone the non-Sparc market.
The best part for me is that these servers (they're buying some Sun Fire v440s and Sun Fire v240s as well) will all be running Solaris 10.
