Sun never committed to the low-end. Their sales droids wanted to sell to the enterprise and big .edu . Of course, now Linux is what enterprise and big .edu are running... I am told that Solaris has a tenacious hold on certain financial shops and banking, and other niches as well. It is a shame, their $995-list 1U servers (V100, Netra X1) use only 70W including powering 2 hard drives. Had they kept up and released a follow-on series with SATA and more RAM expandability, they would be perfect for cloud applications.
