You are misquoting and increasing FUD.

Ah yes, the cnet article, which I will provide the reference for you.  Note
very carefully that the article does *not* say "sun stated" or attribute any
quote at all.  From what I can tell, the author of the article states the
shift to ultrasparc.

I don't claim to know and would not admit proprietary information even if I
did know.  I'm not sure you can assert from that article that any reputable
source has put their stamp on it.
