Actually, Sun Micro is a great company IMO and they have made great products. How would you like to have your intellectual property or ideas co-opted by another (MSFT)

Impetuous youth! I expect history to look back on the Wintel experience as a mere blip. Getting the wrong answer on a desktop is akin to keying the wrong number on a hand calculator or making a typographical error, and the hardware and software typically deployed unfortunately reflect that. Getting the wrong answer in a mission critical system should be taken more seriously.

JMHO.

Steve,

SUNW vs. MS performance I agree that NOW they are essentially the same, espeically with Windows 2000. I use both, and play no favorites.

HOWEVER, I know a lot of Microsoft haters out there. They wouldnt buy MSFT stuff to save money on a technical solution. They would (and are) use Linux however.

Linux is a bigger threat to SUNW in an environment where companies are looking to save money.
