G,

I think SUNW is still expensive, especially since they are losing some turf to the INTC's of the world. A true Gorilla never cedes ground.

McNealy is excellent at rhetoric, however his products cost about 5X more than competing MSFT<gasp!> products.

And it does not help when you need to get your customers to sign non-disclosure agreements because you don't want them talking about problems with your products. NO premier I can name has used similar tactics, even MSFT. And yet, McNealy has the temerity to excoriate MSFT et al.

It also does not help to be bad-mouthing your competition, which has coffers full of money(much more than you do) and looking to enter profitable(read SUNW) markets. McNealy should stick to doing business and shut up. I would hate to be a SUNW shareholder should Bush win and dismiss the MSFT case. All in all, I think McSquealy is a meathead and a whiner.
