Oh, come now. What's wrong with the PCI bus? It's vastly faster, and in
many ways saner, than SBus. And they've latched onto cheap, insanely
functionaly video cards and cheap hard drives for workstations (not for
servers, of course).
Personally, I think Sun is spot on. There's something to be said for
economies of scale.
