now this as an article from a writer who "gets" it.... "Schwartz, too, has a hard time understanding why a customer would do business with any company other than Sun. For him, it boils down to Sun's Apple-like insistence that it sell complete systems. Wall Street analysts may look askance at this strategy; after all, while Apple's technology is highly regarded, the company is a niche player with a 3 percent market share. But Schwartz believes they fail to recognize the "magical things" a company can do when it can tweak its own microprocessors to optimize the operating system it's been selling for 20 years. Sun will help customers implement Linux on low-end servers if that's their wish, Schwartz says, but only begrudgingly, because at Sun they believe in Sun, period."
