"The Network Is the Computer" Is "the Dot in .com" also an innovation? Scotty came up with the slogan(s) in an attempt to deflect Wall streets attention. Problem is it hasn't worked. IMO, the Computer drove the need for networks. Once you had all those cheap PCs you wanted them networked. Standard non proprietary software? Surely you jest. What standards body oversees Java or Solaris? Where's the 64-bit Opteron versions? "what best accomplishes customer lock-in" Take a hard look at your portfolio and tell me honestly that you do not wish Sun had locked in some customers. " business model that doesn't require buying out one's competitors in order to shut them down as a survival tactic" One word... Cobalt. In the past 3 years, how much Sun Iron have you personally bought? How many PCs?
