Anyone catch Scotty Mac chuckling and gloating on the TV today? If he was smart, he wouldn't yap so much. Makes it rather transparently obvious that he's celebrating the fact that the government is protecting SUNW from competition. All this blathering about the consumers is so much horse excrement. JB

You don't understand. These people have been called to participate in the equivalent of a holy war against Microsoft. They know that alternatives are available, and most of them are using whatever alternative suits their needs. They have their own threads that they post on. They post on microsoft threads, such as this, to advance their cause which is nothing short of the total destruction of Ellison's, Barksdale's, and McNeely's sworn enemy, Microsoft. They are just doing their part, advancing the propaganda of their leaders; in an effort to sway public and investor opinion against a formidable competitor, that has a miniscule share of their current markets, but has the ability and expressed intention of entering their markets and competing vigorously for a larger share in their market spaces.
