Since you love MSFT so much, I suggest you go to the MSFT board as you add NOTHING to this discussion about SUNW but the constant droning of FUD. You have been wrong all along and you will continue to be wrong with respect to SUNW as an investment. If you continue on as you are, in the coming months you will leave this thread like the twisters of the past. During this same period, SUNW will continue to add innovation and reliability to it's applications; hardware, systems, and software. The long list of SUNW customers continues to grow. While there will be problems along the way, this company will continue to execute and reward their customers, employees and shareholders. You focus solely on the "desktop" and lose sight of the big picture. SUNW has not made this same mistake. Good luck in your endeavors as I believe people like you will need all the luck they can get. People who are so narrow minded about this company and what they bring to the table. People who have an obsession with bad rapping SUNW, or any company for that matter, probably just don't understand what's happening in the "real world". Those who spend their time being negative usually lead very sad lives. Look at the bright side once in a while, James. There's a big world out there with plenty of opportunity for all the SUNWs and MSFTs to make a handsome fortune providing solutions to the computing industry. Maybe if the MSFT followers of the world would learn to work with and enhance those around them, instead of trying to bad rap them all the time, maybe the world could be a better place for all. I'll be glad to extend my (cyber) hand and offer it to you in the spirit of help and understanding if you are willing to see a different point of view. Just my opinion, Michael

"In short, Sun and Motorola are laying the foundation for the digital wireless network of the 21st century." said Sun chairman and chief executive officer Scott McNealy. ============================= Motorola, Sun in 10-year wireless hardware pact SCHAUMBURG, Ill., June 9 (Reuters) - Telecommunications company Motorola Inc. and Sun Microsystems Inc. , a provider of computer network services, said Wednesday they formed a 10-year pact to develop equipment that will allow network operators to deliver a high level of wireless telephone service to businesses and consumers. In a joint statement, the companies said the new network equipment is expected to provide an unprecedented level of wireless availability, one that will match the level of quality in telephone service over traditional wire lines. The quality will be "the equivalent in a wireline world of near-infinite dial tone....a claim that only the wireline industry can make today," they said. The agreement joins the wireless communications operations of Motorola's Network Solutions Sector (NSS) with hardware equipment from Motorola's Computer Group (MCG) and software from Sun. Motorola plans to purchase up to $1 billion in board- and system-level hardware from MCG, software and hardware from Sun, and custom hardware from Motorola NSS. The companies said the new networks will allow wireless service providers and commercial developers to quickly respond to demands for Internet-based voice, data and video services. "Motorola is moving the wireless telecommunications industry from its proprietary past to a future based on open IP (Internet Protocol) standards which can provide reduced costs, increased reliability and new value-added services for our customers," said Chris Galvin, Motorola chairman and chief executive officer. "In short, Sun and Motorola are laying the foundation for the digital wireless network of the 21st century." said Sun chairman and chief executive officer Scott McNealy.
