   By the time of the takeover, Sun wasn't very interested in SPARC   
   workstations, because their market share was close to zero. x86-64   
   Windows and Linux had demolished all the traditional Unix workstations by   
   then. The Sun server business was still going, but loosing money pretty   
   fast.
