	I'd like to think so, but IMHO solaris x86 has never been a winner
for SUN.  I doubt they have much to loose by this move.  SCO has and
continues to dominate the commercial intel unix world.  SCO also has had
the same type of offer open for both UnixWare and OpenDeathtrap for a year
or so now.  They have much more to loose in the intel market.
