More Good News for Sun

This was a really good week for Sun! It started with the Sun Intel Announcement which has two components, the hard- and the software side. We will build a server line based on Intel Xeon processors and Intel is embracing Solaris as a mainstream Operating System. It will be the enterprise class mission critical UNIX OS for Intel Xeon processor-based systems. There will also be close collaboration in the R&D space between our companies. Jonathan provides some more details.

This is another milestone in getting more and more traction with the adoption of our Operating System Solaris. We are at more than 7 Mio downloads now. The worldwide distribution of connected Solaris users looks like this. The recent market movements are additionally promoting Solaris as the stable, scalable, indemnified, multi-platform Operating System. The Microsoft Novell announcement in November concerning SUSE and the Oracle fork of Red Hat Linux destabilized the commercial Linux distributions.

And then we announced our Q2 quarterly results, a clear return to profitability!! As I mentioned before, more good news were to come!
