Re: [PLUG] Well, its official -- Sun is serious about being anti Linux and Open Source


I'm so glad that my company's finally moving off of Sun.  We've
already wasted so much money on those people. Looks like we're going
with Linux Clusters on x86 hardware.

I don't think they'll go out of business, though.  I'm thinking they'll
shrink dramatically until they're gulped up my MS and we get some kind
of bastardized Longhorn/Solaris combination: Solarhorn, anyone? ;-)  A
unix BSOD, now that's innovation!
