No matter how much you rant Willy you have to admit that Sun is in a gray area with EBAY on their service outages.

Sun should have seen this as an opportunity for their Enterprise Services group to roll up their sleeves and help EBAY engineers. This could help jumpstart signficant revenue dollars for server side software engineering. Oracle and DEC used to derive over $ 1 billion /annum in consulting revenue ... nothing to sneeze at and remember that $consulting drives iron sales. Just a fumbled ball IMHO.

Sun can provide this consulting or some other firm will !
