From the linked El Reg article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12/07/mcnealy_sun_and_open_source/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12/07/mcnealy_sun_and_open... > Sun should, McNealy told us, have sold and supported Solaris on its own x86 hardware. Instead, Sun took the fatal decision of outsourcing that role: it placed its trust in OEMs such as Dell to sell and support Sun's Unix on their Intel boxes. Problem was, these were the very same OEMs who, it emerged during the US Department of Justice's (DoJ) antitrust prosecution of Microsoft, had had their arms twisted into offering only Windows with Internet Explorer on PCs or risk losing access to Windows on their machines.
