- I don't know Sun's product line well enough, but is it possible they could go way down from here? - I ask b/c I see Linux eating away at their operating system. - Just curious.

EBAY representative was being interviewed on-air and explained that their system, from SUN MICROSYSTEMS had failed. I'm pleased it wasn't NT. PMS, it couldn't be NT because Amazon nor any other major portal does not run NT for web nor database servers. It they did, we would have many more of these failures. Don't get me wrong. I am long MSFT, its just that your post may cause others to infer that NT at AMAZON is running just fine. It isn't running just fine. It isn't running at all (on their network).

Late Friday afternoon, an EBAY representative was being interviewed on-air and explained that their system, from SUN MICROSYSTEMS had failed. I'm pleased it wasn't NT. I would have to say Sun's CEO McNeally's comments in the following would not give me any comfort if I was a Sun shareholder. He seems worried about MSFT (nothing new) but suggesting that they force MSFT to divest and stop future investments would indicate an early warning of possible future trouble for Sun. If i hear more and more of this going into Windows2k release, Sun might be one hell of a short candidate. IMHO of course. news.com
