I just wish they'd stop dragging their feet and send us over our 200 billion+ dollars in market cap which MSFT is hoarding and which clearly belongs to us. I don't know why we have to go though all of this Innovation 2000 upgrade BS song and dance. justsendusthemoney.com -JCJ

Hi Rude: Do you think SUNW is doing enough to integrate LINUX with SOLARIS? From Paul's earlier post he stated:"...I think Sun has an ABI toolkit that maps the Linux API's to Solaris - in the future i would think that Sun would merge the API's directly into Solaris. I think theres a natural affinity with Linux Developers and Java developers - Sun has programs that reaches millions of Java Developers so they should be able to capitalize on this relationship from Linux to Solaris Sparc vs. Say IBM or HP who are more vocal as to how much they love Linux (and NT, and Unix, and Monterey and....)..." =========================================================== What's your opinion on Sunw's approach in integrating the LINUX OS to work with SOLARIS in their overall approach of a unified operating system? How will the two OS's eventually morph? Is the OS choice based on microprocessor type? What is SUNW's plan when Intel releases McKinely? any guesses? Will SUNW offer a LINUX/SOLARIS/UNIX hybrid OS?

Dear Rudedog: Very clever of you, your inductive reasoning may be more accurate than the PR's floating about. Makes a lot of sense. but what you end up with is Dell, not known for R&D etc, and now MSFT same going into the server market. As you say, hard to believe Enterprises would want such lack of backup support and frankly, for me, naive as I am hard to believe anyone would. Given the limited amount of knowledge I have on the subject, it would seem to me if I were to be price conscious I would use CPQ. JDN
