Maybe they'll bring it back and actually support more than 5% of basic Intel hardware.

Don't hold your breath. When Sun purchased Interactive Unix from Kodak in early 90's it was lightyears ahead of SCO (e.g. it was one of official launch distros for AT&T SVR4, both 'plain' and SMP) and Sun itself didn't have anything ready for Intel. THey scewed it up completely within few months and then discontinued it, leaving Intel market to SCO. Thank God for Linus & RMS!

With days of expensive Unices gone, I expect Sun focusing on their high-end hardware that still has perceived advantage over Linux (on Intel, Alpha or PowerPC) farms. I don't think that marketing value of Solaris for Intel as entry-level teaser is worth the trouble of supporting it...
