Touting its computers' new Windows compatibility, Sun Microsystems on Wednesday began offering discounts to Microsoft technology experts for machines that use Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron chip. Under the three-month program, Microsoft-certified systems engineers and Microsoft certified professionals can receive discounts of up to 35 percent on some Windows-certified Opteron servers and workstations, the company said. Those experts are also eligible for a half-price version of Sun's Java Creator developer tool for Windows. "We want people running Microsoft to take advantage of us," said John Fowler, executive vice president of Sun's Network Systems group, speaking to reporters at a meeting here. The promotion doesn't require purchasers to use Windows on the systems, which can also run Linux and Sun's version of Unix, called Solaris. | ||

I want to be the first person in history to put these words together in this order (regardless of the questionable truth value):
Sun makes the most reliable Windows machines on the planet. |

Like Apple in the PC market, Sun is destined to be the bottom feeder of the server market.
The latest stats in the server revenue/share wars are below: IBM, H-P top Gartner server report SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 25, 2004 (AFX-UK via COMTEX) -- The latest results on the server market from research firm Gartner show IBM and Hewlett-Packard dueling for the top spots in terms of revenue and shipments. Gartner analyst Mike McLaughlin said worldwide server revenue in the second quarter reached $11.5 billion, up almost 8 percent from $10.7 billion during the same period a year ago. Server shipments climbed to 1.6 million units, a 24.5-percent increase from 1.28 million units last year. The Gartner report placed IBM as the No. 1 company for worldwide server revenue, with $3.5 billion in the second quarter of the year, up from $3.2 billion in the year-ago period. H-P trailed IBM in second place with $3.15 billion in server sales, growing from $3 billion in last year's second-quarter. The rest of the top five vendors in revenue terms were Sun Microsystems with $1.5 billion, Dell , with $1.13 billion, and Fujitsu/FSC with $518 million. All of the top five vendors showed second-quarter revenue growth over a year ago, with Dell reporting the largest percentage gain as is sales increased 20 percent from $944 million. H-P was able to claim the top spot in unit shipments, with about 463,000 servers sold, a 22.7-percent gain from the almost 378,000 shipment is reported in last year's second-quarter. Dell took second place in shipments, with 337,000 units, while IBM came in third with 239,000 shipments. Sun sold more than 90,000 servers for fourth place, and Fujitsu/FSC came in fifth with 47,000 units. All of the top five vendors saw shipments grow over the year-ago period.
