Paul and Thread, a little "Intel-bashing" by the Sun investors on the MSFT thread: Amy J Message 12849625 To: Tony Viola who wrote (37713) From: cheryl williamson Yeah, she's one of the SUNW-lover MSFT-hater reasons that I stopped reading that thread. She's unreasonable. She hates MSFT like AMDer's hate INTC. Since INTC is a threat to the Sun Platform she also hates INTC to some degree. Discussions with her are not likely to lead to anything productive. One of the things that she seems to honestly believe is that if software runs on a system that has a public-domain specification, such as the PC, that it should also be public domain. She also believes that Sun should not have to sell it's hardware or software separately because Sun only sells "complete solutions" and that Sun keeps its hardware specification proprietary. She has no answer other than "complete solutions only" when one asks her about getting hardware without software if you want to run Linux. While any sort of pressure by Microsoft to buy their products along with the hardware platform would be considered evil, in her twisted mind the same pressures are not only justified but Good when applied by Sun.
