Some great points by all ... my two cents:

NC's - great as green screen replacements (3270, VTx00 etc) and
probably won't amount to much more due to cheap PC's.
- however embedded/personel java looks promising.

MSFT - they own the desktop hands down; including Graphic
workstations now with NT + Pentium II
- Linux is the only real desktop contender to MSFT; INTC
is interested in helping this cause.
- in the Server space MSFT doesn't have a clue:
low reliability and scalability; David Cutler should
have just cloned VMS and he would be done by now!

SUNW - will profit from UNIX unification; they are becoming
the standard and choosen UNIX both in a workstation
and server environment
- need to expand consulting especially in HA; look at
how much $ DEC AND ORCL earn from consulting > $1 billion.
- consulting should also focus on NT INTEGRATION not
bashing; the corporate world is going to play with NT
for a while at least and are looking for integation
consulting.
- Java's there but needs a performance and reliability
boost ; Sun needs to sink real engineering dollars into
doing this to win corporate confidence.
