I hope it's not Ballmer (or Myhrvold, for that matter). Maybe they hired Pfeiffer to head up mass distribution of SunRays. I can't think who else is out of a job right now. Edit: It's probably the guy who was heading up Stardivision. JMHO.

The network appliance on a grand scale ($100k): pcweek.com "New information appliances are aimed at the high end with large, complex applications such as Oracle Corp.'s Oracle8i and with Mirapoint Inc.'s IMAP (Internet Messaging Application Protocol) and SMTP e-mail appliances.
