Hi Steve: It all depends what the total configuration (ie. system solution) SUNW plans to deliver to E-Bay. I would be impressed if SUNW was able to install their storage solution for E-Bay as this would signal that their new storage systems would best EMC. Any idea who E-Bay selected for their storage system? Was it SUNW hardware? EKS

Steve - your constant attempt to spread FUD is a joke. Your vision of the world thru Microsoft tinted glasses are laughable - to save you some valuable time we will assume that any mention of a company will be followed by - "yes, I hear they are moving to NT" post by Steve Lee - this will give you more time to peruse your mail order PC catalogs which I gather is your main hobby: Ericsson using I.E. - Didn't you forget to mention that Ericsson refused to take Windows CE and insisted on Microsoft unbundling IE and Windows - i guess its possible on a device but not on the desktop - huh? Microsoft having to unbundle their applications from the OS.. this is good for Microsoft? - MS is so desperate to get any chunk of this market they are trying to give the illusion that they have not already lost it like paying ATT 500Million dollars to USE WinCE - isnt this supposed to be the other way around? Ebay using MS Cluster Server - What part of Powered by Sun on Ebay's web site do you not understand? I expect that Ebay will be dimantiling the MS web servers which have been in use since '96 as part of their recent deal with Sun. And BTW Steve - its Windows2000 Steve not NT - but yes its still Windows.
