Sun Microsystems: Burnout or Takeover Target?

Hardware companies trying to do software is recipe for failure. SUN make zero dollars on JAVA but sinks large amounts of human capitial dollars in it. The same will be true with MySQL. A losing game...

SUN h/w is losing ground, not because their hardware isnt any good, but because of the Operations and Maintence dollars associated with SUN gear. Why in the world would I buy a SUN box and pay huge amounts of money for maintenece, when I can buy a LINUX/INTEL box for 1/10 the cost and pay zero maintence? If it breaks, rip it out and insert a new box. Gut the old box and give it to an Admin or developer.
