   That's about right. Sun would occasionally ask my employers to support   
   Solaris on x86-64 (we'd supported it on SPARC for many years) but they   
   were never able to demonstrate any customer demand. After the Oracle   
   takeover, the requests stopped: Oracle wanted to sell proprietary   
   hardware, until they lost interest in Solaris in favour of cloud.
