WORKSTATIONS   $2.7B       Sun has lost ground to Hewlett-
                            Packard but is coming back
                            with new UltraSPARC machines

SERVERS        $1.3B       This is Sun's way into corporate
                            computing and its biggest
                            Internet-related business so far

                            is the most popular, but it hasn't
                            sold well on non-Sun hardware

SPARC          $99M        Sun's SPARC chips are now back on
TECHNOLOGY                  the leading edge, but Intel's Pentium
                            Pro is a potential low-cost threat
