Sun May Use Opteron Chips

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-molten-core-is-pure-silicon dept.

Runnin_Rob writes "CNET Nets.com is reporting that Sun is likely (not definite, but likely) to start using AMD's Opteron in the near future. The article also discusses how Linux is pushing for greater acceptability of Solaris x86 because 'All of the sudden it is OK to (put) something other than Windows.'"

    "Sun May Use Opteron Chips"
    Probably because of this war coverage, I cringe every time I see the word "may" in a news headline. News sources need to start reporting FACTS! Slashdot, FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC: If you can't write the headline without using the word "may", don't publish it as news!.

    "We may have killed Osama!"
    "We may have killed Sadam!"
    "We may have found WMD in Iraq!"
    "We may have killed Sadam!"
    "Sun May Use Opteron Chips"
    "We may be living in tubes with our brains plugged in to a computer-simulation of the world!"

    I'm sick of it! Report FACTS!

      Moderators: if part of a message is not dirrectly on topic, that does not make the whole message off-topic. I think slashdot is giving out moderation points far too easily these days. People who don't know what they are doing are moderating.
