"With a Linux strategy like you describe, Sun may lose more than they gain. Their hardware sales are bread and butter, but they are dropping substantially every quarter. They have already dropped nearly 40% from 2001 to 2003, and they continue to lose market share. SPARC is uncompetitive, and they have minimal share in the x86 server space. Maybe you're right that Solaris is their last hope, but even after such a move, SUNW will be a very different company."

How much money do you think it takes them to maintain this
R&D facility in Burlington, MA? It is a beautiful facility
in an expensive place to do business.
