YALRKYALRKPosted Sep 20, 2003 14:37 UTC (Sat) by leonbrooks (guest, #1494)Parent article: Sun's Schwartz Speaks Out on Linux, SCO (eWeek) Yet Another Linux RoadKill in the making, just like Caldera of about 3 years ago. Old creaky products, pretty configuration tools overlaid thereon, impressive marketing - but alas, nobody's really fooled. It's a pity Sun overprice their hardware, because it's pretty good compared to, for example, Dell. Actually, I wish DEC would erupt from the grave and take over Compaq from within, but she's a not gunna happen.

Although Solaris in included in the deal for free, we use Linux for plenty of good reasons. Finally, I thought, Sun understands that they can make survive and even make profit by selling good Intel hardware using the becoming standard OS across computing plarforms, Linux. Alas, the interview of Schwartz shows that the head of Sun is still in the dark.
