Yes, sun is a major player in the workstation market, but part of that is due
to thier system V compatability (since most govt agencies won't buy a system
that is not system V compatible).

Another point you may want to remember is that the workstation market is 
a very small segment of the total unix market.  Last I heard there are
more people using Xenix than all other versions of Unix combined.  (Me? 
No, I prefer to use real System V rel 3.2).
