Subject: [PLUG] Well, its official -- Sun is serious about being anti
Linux and Open Source
In announcing the 3300 person layoff following yet another quarter of
losses, and settlement with Microsoft, Sun also announced that they
were making Windows available on the Sun Platform.
"Windows Certification for Sun Server: Sun and Microsoft today are
announcing Windows certification for Sun's Xeon servers. In addition,
the Windows certification process for Sun's Opteron-based servers is
moving forward."

The analysts on CNBC have been saying this is part and parcel of Sun's
anti-Linux and anti-Open Source tactics. They also are talking about
how long Sun will stay in business, some are guessing the end will come
in 2005.
