I dunno ... I'm kinda' inclined to think that Sun deserves to lose
at this point. I've said this about Apple in the past but I think the difference is that Apple has a large, loyal, user base and Sun, well... people seem to resent Sun. Carnegie Mellon's IT group is essentially phasing out Sun because the hardware is too expensive and too slow. They are now migrating AFS File Servers to Dell boxes running Linux which would've been unthinkable even 2 years ago.

I'm not sure that the author's proposal that Sony (of all people)
absorb Sun makes a whole lot of sense. I have a hard time
seeing Sony getting anywhere close to enterprise computing...
