some stuff:

Cyberstock: Sun Microsystems (SUNW) recently
acquired StarOffice, and announced plans to launch a free
version of this office productivity suite called StarPortal
later this year. It's of my opinion that Sun will invariably
end up partnering with America Online (AOL) and other
portals down the line to offer these office applications
online. It's almost as if Microsoft's fear of AOL turning into
a competing operating system is indeed around the
corner.

Harmon: Well, last January, I did a piece that said
Yahoo! (YHOO) was an OS. Basically, the Internet is the
operating system now. I think I would agree with what Sun
was billing as "the network is the computer." I switched
that around and said, "the computer is the network." So I
saw it coming; it's here. I think it's all about users. [It's]
not about clients, or client and server. It's more about
users - people. It's not about selling licenses to software,
it's about selling services. That's one of the reasons that I
think AOL is undervalued.
