McNealy may be a nascent monopolist himself. He may be trying to establish Java as the pre-eminant internet language in order to raise the license fees. Sun should start charging transaction fees for every Java-based transmission,like the phone companies do.

As for Linux. It's hurting MSFT, HP, & IBM just as much as it is hurting Sun. This rhetoric about Sun ONLY selling high-priced hardware is yesterday's news.

If you want to see money as a shareholder of a computer hardware company (not DELL), you had better start lobbying for an end to Linux and all other freeware-shareware. That marketing ploy went out in the late 90's.

If you want to take the vi's tack, buy DELL. They are the one company that would like to see the demise of the tech industry as we know it. Mike Dell is the Sam Walton of our business and will profit at the expense of innovation. DELL sells volume iron on low-margin.

All this bs about Sun's pending demise is just that: pure bullshit.
