“Paul Otellini, vice president of Intel’s architecture business
group, said the chip giant had not seen a momentum of support for
the features of Solaris on Itanium.”
” ‘We have advised users out and out not to buy Solaris on
Intel,’ said Ed Thompson, analyst at Gartner Group.
He said there were a limited number of applications available
for Solaris on Intel compared to the number on Sparc. He said
he had already seen a number of Solaris on Intel customers begin
migration to Linux on Intel.”
