re: <<SUNW and AOL have nothing they can jointly develop>>
Can you name anything AOL has developed (technology development, not user aggregation develoment)? I'd think they'd have to partner with someone for any future enhancements that involve hardware (partner meaning they pay someone to do it for them and use it within their infrastructure). I suppose if some AOL software people work on some part of the development, they could call it a joint development in the press release. Guess that would include Netscape software people too.

Besides, haven't you seen the commercials? SUN put the dot in "dot-com." <g> They are definitely trying to do PR work on their "internet association." I'm sure SUN's engineers are perfectly capable of designing a set-top-box that AOL can put their label on and sell to subscribers as "their own," so subscribers can surf from their La-Z-Boy. STB's are basically a cookie-cutter design anymore (in their most basic form, anyway).
