Actually it does Krishna. I think any company that is so anti-MSFT and is trying to push the computer world toward a thin client model better practice what it preaches. If there is one copy of MSFT Windows being used by any Sun employee (other than for some develpment/compatability/testing or research etc) I'd say that's one too many. Therefore if one person at Sun is using Powerpoint, MS Word, MS Project, MS Excel then it's hypocritical of them to condemn MSFT.

Therefore I think my question is valid. As I stated in an earlier post I believe the world isn't as black and white as McNealy paints it. As a result I'm sure Sun is using some MSFT products and MSFT uses some products from the UNIX community.

IMHO of course.

Seems a good fundamental question to me ?

Surely someone must have some comments to make on that.

Is it a myth or is microsoft incapable of creating an OS to handle its own business requirements ????
