This is from today's (8/31) WSJ article on the Star announcement. Even the M$-worshipping Rob Enderle says something that's actually true: Some analysts, however, argue that the time is right for a company such as Sun to strike. "You're dealing with a Microsoft installed base of users that are relatively dissatisfied," said Rob Enderle, an analyst with Giga Information Group. In a recent survey of information-technology managers, in fact, Giga found that 75% said they would switch to a Microsoft Office competitor, if only one was available. (Of course several actually are available, so I don't know exactly what this means.) Anyway, if people on this thread would like to see this longish article posted, let me know and I will.
