I work for a well known FTSE100 company in the UK.. Sun have been dropped as a supplier by my employer in favour of IBM. Pain in the ass for me as I much prefer Solaris to AIX, but IBM had compelling price/performance figures that Sun couldn't match, and the micro partitioning that AIX 5.3 and Power 5 offers is attractive for a company fast running out of data centre space.
