"It launched a counterattack by pushing server computers that run on
cheaper
Intel and AMD chips, but it hasn't really been working the way Sun
hoped.
Analysts estimate that about 65% of the servers it ships running
Intel's and
AMD's x86 processors are powered by Linux rather than Solaris. Making
Solaris
Open source may help out a little bit, but analysts say one thing
that's
holding back Solaris-on-X86 chips is that it isn't as good as the
version of
Solaris that runs on Sun's Sparc processor. Open-sourcing the operating
system
doesn't fix that."

What's meant by "...it [Solaris] isn't as good as the version of
Solaris that
runs on Sun's Sparc processor?"
