It wasn't seen as a major priority as OpenSolaris is for developers and 
community folks to get into using Solaris orver Linux. This meant it 
gets used primarily on the desktop, rather than the server, so it's not 
an are Sun are interested in promoting SPARC technology anymore. It is a 
shame but... hey :) It's pulp for the masses, and the masses use Intel.
