"The deal is an unholy alliance that spells the end of Sun Microsystems as
we know it. This move makes Sun the Apple Computer of the Unix world.
Apparently, McNealy thinks the enemy of his enemy--Linux--is his friend.
They couldn't possibly be more wrong," said Ron Herardian, CEO of Global
System Services, Mountain View, Calif. "It's just an unbelievable disaster
for the industry. This won't stop Linux; it just puts Sun on the losing
side of the battle line."



Aargh.  I guess I thought Sun was on its way out.  Now I think they've
basically been taken over by MS.

Viva IBM!  Viva Linux!
