First of all, IF MSFT can manage to do that as you suspected, that
would be good news for both SUNW and MSFT. However, as long as MSFT
keeps doing that Captive-X stuff, I don't see how can MSFT port their
application software to SUNW platform. If MSFT keeps the Captive-X,
they will have to make NT 5.0 or 6.0 capable of mission-critical
tasks, no crash or anything like that.
This brings the next point,

I maybe wrong, but I NEVER heard of MSFT coming out with any OS
of any accepted quality. Their track-record has NOT shown that they
can put out powerful OS (or anything else), what makes you believe
that NT's next version would be even acceptable, and I'm NOT talking
about setting-up a web-site where you don't even care whether the web
server is up or not. You could blame the network anyway.
I happen to believe that MSFT does have a track record of GREAT
marketing strategic dicisions which makes it a great stock.
Remember Wal-Mart? That's a great stock too. I buy a lot of stuff
from Wal-Mart, things where quality is not as important as price.
But I go to a real dept. store to buy a gift for my wife, or anything
that's really important.
As long as SUNW concentrate on the corperate market where it is the
strongest, I don't see any threat from MSFT or any one else.
The only danger to SUNW is SUNW, if it follows the street and waste
resources on computing for the "mass".
