but Sun has always been saying their systems are faster.

The interesting thing here is, Solaris is probably the only TRUE full
spectrum, cradle to grave, desktop to high end corporate server o/s out
there.  Solaris runs on your intel desktop (gee, there's an idea!), it runs
on midsize server (the kind you run windows server stuff on) and it runs on
HUGE servers...oh well... :)

yeah, but Sun also went bankrupt selling a full performance spectrum
system. DB2 and hardware is what IBM does best. If Oracle is putting
its focus on the proprietary processor + Unix strategy, then maybe
they are the ones setting themselves up to fail like Sun did.
