As much as people like to bash Sun these days (especially since the SCO license issue became public, and Scott McNealy's ignorant and disparaging remarks about GNU/Linux and OSS) I do like the direction they are moving in.

By launching their Linux desktop initiative, they are giving themselves the lifeboat they will need later when their Solaris boat sinks, and they'll have no choice but to become a true (inasmuch as Red Hat and IBM are) GNU/Linux and FLOSS-supporting company.
