when you can grow earnings per share 37% and revenue 22% year over year like Sun does you can afford to blink a few times. doesnt hurt when your also taking away your competitors business.. from todays Wall Street Journal.. Compaq Quandry: Client Losses - .....The new computers Volkswagon recently installed to manage its North American operations are from Sun Microsystems Inc. Similarly, America Online Inc, which became the largest U.S. Internet company on Compaq servers, also switched to Sun as part of a strategic alliance last November ......... AOL's switch to Sun cost Compaq as much as $500 million in product and service revenue over the next several years.
