Well, they seem to have pretty much bet the company on it. Or did you mean that their track record on x86 is short? The latter is certainly the case.

I mean when it suits them they can say, nope were not supporting x86 anymore, and they have done that in the past!

Twice as I recall, but in those days MC68K clobbered
x86, and SPARC had a future.

There's a cliche that goes" "In bacon and eggs, the
chicken is merely involved. The hog is committed."

Sun looks pretty committed to x86 at this point.
