Tarantella is oldSCO. I wonder if there are any rights they think they are buying defensively, should Novell prevail, vis-a vis OpenSolaris. Otherwise, the software is nothing special.

If Sun spent 25 billion on an acquisition, you would perceive it as negative.

If Sun spent 2.5 billion on an acquisition, you would perceive it as negative.

If Sun spent 250 million on an acquisition, you would perceive it as negative.

If Sun spent 25 million on an acquisition, which they just did, you perceive it as negative.

No matter what Sun does, you perceive it as negative. You're always howling about how Sun needs to change things, do things differently, and on and on and on. And when they do, your reaction is always the same. Negative.

Amazing......
