The movie is new, only the plot is an old one. Examples - Unisys under Weinbach; IBM under Gerstner. The ammo-builder era is pretty much gone. Sun needs to adapt. Few founders ever prove to be fit to be CEOs. Scottie-the-founder is the wrong fit for this role,although funnily enough, we are once again talking about a computer-built-using-standard-parts (but it's an integrated world now.) -d

I don't undersand. If they buy Linux it benefits Sun. Linux is causing Windows admins to learn Unix. Also finally you have a unix which is has a user friendly GUI. I think Linux will replace most of those Windows servers out there and make a dent on the desktop. As long as there is Unix/Linux Sun has a market.
