Yeah you have a point about that, but lets face it, SUNW, IBM, HWP are the same way. IBM tried to recapture the PC market with MCA hardware and OS/2. Nice try, but it didn't work. SUNW would love to replace Windows with Solaris. It isn't going to happen, but they would do it if they could.

I was just saying that without MSFT, a new dominant leader would emerge. It's only natural. If the government hobbles MSFT in a significant way, (it won't happen), but if it did, then SUNW might be the company to watch.
