Predict that Linux on Sparc will be a failure on the long run due to
cost of the hardware:

"Now people just don't care because what they really want to buy is
commodity servers. Commodity means low cost and high volume and for
that people have traditionally bought Intel. In short, three years
down the track Linux on Sparc, like Suse Linux on mainframes, will be
considered just another interesting Linux diversion."
