"As part of the ongoing lawsuit about whether or not Oracle had committed 
itself to supporting its software on Hewlett-Packard's Itanium-based 
servers, the software giant did a core dump of very interesting documents 
that show what many of us suspected: that HP did indeed mull acquiring 
the Sparc/Solaris business and that HP did in fact have a skunkworks that 
was porting the HP-UX variant of Unix to the x86 processor from Itanium."
