Dear Rudedog: As usual, I can count on you to sort through the BS and tell me more than I probably ever needed to know. haha. As a exbusiness man though, I can tell you, I would be VERY surprised and probably disappointed if the E Commerce business wasnt extremely successful. I dont say that as a SUNW shareholder but as a person wishing the USA in particular and business everywhere to operate as efficiently as possible so I as a consumer can get the best prices. JDN

RudeDog, a very interesting analysis, indeed. I work in this environment, developing a state-of-the-art (that term shows my age, right?) N-tier application for portfolio performance analysis. The product will hit the market late this year. We have driven exclusively down the Windows 2000 XML road (thanks largely to people who have now left the company!), but I think you're right, and I think SUNW is right. My CTO says C++ is a dying language and Java is all that really matters (except for scripting languages like Javascript, XSL, ASP, etc.). As I said when I first began writing on this thread, I think SUNW has positioned itself smack dab in the middle of where Enterprise technology is moving. And there's no better thing you can do in this business, whether you're a big hardware manufacturer or a tiny software engineer trying to stay pertinent until retirement. Very nice explanation. I agree with JDN: eBusiness is here to stay and is in fact a revolution in commerce that will increase people's standard of living immensely over time. Kevin
