Sun's Bold New Ad Campaign

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the funny-advertising-at-its-best dept.

Celeritas writes "Sun is making some noise over their latest x64server entries by doing a fly by over Dell's HQ yesterday. A few pictures were snapped to capture the event. Sun has continued the offensive by running some interesting ads as well as designing some that were rejected due to the controversial content or as Sun calls them 'bold ad concepts'"

    I spec and purchase all my servers. well, me or the other sysadmin do. Wouldn't work at a place where the PHB made technology purchasing decisions.

    Good for you. But really, so fucking what?

    It helps to not be a Sun fanboy.
    I'm not. But thanks for playing.
    You are confusing Suns with mainframes.
    No, I'm not.

    Though the lines between microcomputers, minicomputers and mainframes are not lines at all. Perhaps they once were, but now it's one big blur. In any event, Sun makes machines that fit into all three categories (and so does most everybody else.)

    x86 is merely taking the place once occupied by Alpha.
    Taking? They've been competing since the Alpha was introduced, and it's pretty obvious who won.

    Unless you meant that x86_64 is taking the niche once occupied by Alpha -- fast, but still low end 64 bit cpus. In which case I'd have to say `thank you, Captain Obvious!'
