Claude:"I see LInux as much more of a threat to SUN than MSFT."

Oh really; Q1: what does Linux run on?
A1: hardware.

Q2: what does SUNW manufacture?
A2: hardware and software.

Q3: what does MSFT manufacture?
A3: software.

Q4: who is most at risk from Linux?
A4: MSFT because they don't make hardware.

This is the beauty of McNealy's SUNW strategy. They own both the
hardware and software and they are thus more "business" flexible.
