Just got a weekly blurb for iForce partners from Sun (my new company is 
such a partner), and there's a couple of paragraphs about the Qube being 
"transitioned" and that people should switch to RaQ 550 or LX50.  Here's 
info on support for the Qube though:

"The Sun Cobalt Qube(tm) 3+ server appliance will be transitioned off the 
Sun price list. The recommended product for customers to switch to is the 
Sun Cobalt RaQ 550 server appliance or the Sun(tm) LX50 server. Customers 
using the Sun Cobalt Qube 3+ server appliance software functionality could 
consider the Sun(tm) Open Net Environment (Sun ONE) software suite.

Sun will maintain hardware support for the Sun Cobalt Qube 3+ server 
appliance for five years subsequent to the last shipment date. Per Sun's 
standard customer support policy, Sun will repair the unit for the cost of 
time and materials as per standard Sun terms and conditions. Sun will 
support the Sun Cobalt Qube 3+ server appliance software for three years 
from last shipment date in compliance with Sun's standard software support 
policy."


Also "interesting" is a list of "new features" that the RaQ 550 has over 
the Qube 3, including BlueLinQ, telnet access, and Legato Networker/Arkeia 
Backup support... ;)
