my guess is the "software sales division" has been scaled down to say the least. There isn't as much money in software licenses as their used to be, and companies like IBM who have never relied on a licensing model for most of their revs (IBM is a service company) are pushing the shift. This isn't really a Sun thing, it is an industry thing. All the software executives are crying the blues and whining, pathetic in a way. Sun is probably reworking their software sales division into a sort of services arm.
