IBM announced support for X some time ago, as I recall.

The press announcement was worded, as I recall, to the effect that these 
companies were supporting "X, *the* industry standard windowing system" 
(emphasis mine). It's unlikely that Sun would make such an announcement,
since they've been busy trying to develop their own window system for many
years now. Their stockholders might object!

(Opinions, if any, are mine, of course.)
