Sun and Intel

Sun and Intel announced their strategic alliance. Intel will support Sun's operating system Solaris as a mainstream operating system and a perfect solution for company and business environment and will also support Java, Netbeans and OpenSolaris communities. On the other hand Sun will release a new series of computers (including workstations and servers) that will be built on Intel Xeon processors (single, dual or quad core) and will be running Solaris, Linux or Windows. There will be probably a version of Intel's core platform specialized for Solaris (as it happened with core processors for Apple Macs). That will give Sun's users very powerfull systems with maximum compatibility and extremely high performance.
