Hey now, easy does it you guys. Sun has contributed plenty of good things to our industry, more than enough to outweigh the so-called wrongdoings of their SCO deal.

In addition to numerous technical contributions over the years, politically Sun has stepped up to the plate and gone toe-to-toe with Microsoft. All while every other hardware vendor bends over and sells win32 boxes.

neeh, It's just SUN's business position. If they had a Windows port on theyr PowerPCs and
wouldn't have tehir own operation system's department(Linux, Solaris, etc, whatever they use next), then they wouldn't care a thing about what's good or wrong. Isn't management basically the same everywhere(OK, let's exclude SCOX and M$ from the list for the moment), just plain bussiness(wo)men who aren't capable of seeing the results of their decisions from NONMONETARY point of view??
