Sun cuts jobs

Here is news about job cuts in Sun. Oh is Oracle buying Sun? Yes it is. Ok, I must have lived under a rock.

Sorry, Sun. I used java since its debut in 1995. I didn't pay you a dime. I did pay you $150 x 2 for each of that certification tests, that's about it.

But yikes, I paid your arch rival Microsoft many times in authentic copies of Windows when it came with my machines...

Solaris in my opinion is the finest Unix. Unix Vendors just cannot compete with Linux and cheap Intel based hardware. Nowadays Linux is as good as Solaris.

Sun give everything away, from Java to MySQL, how can it ever make any money? (A big strategy issue here)

Unix vendors missed the opportunity to take the desktop when Windows 95 came along. Time will never go back.

All Unix only with their own hardware vendors will go out of business in the way of Silicon Graphics.

HP excels of course because it is not a one trick pony like Sun.
