Re: "Microsoft does has the best support services and collateral material. That's something which Sun and others can learn from. Microsoft's technology only serves as a bad example."

Interesting point re collateral material. However, the brittleness of their technology (as you aptly describe it) along with their business model (planned obsolescence to encourage upgrade sales, along with the introduction of incompatibilities to foil potential competitors) leads to frequent redesign and gratuitous change which destroy much of the usefulness of that collateral material.

JMHO, of course.
