Two items of interest!highways on which Sun's thin client computing will travel). Their latest attempt in this area is their desire to invest over $1 billion in US West (see yahoo.com . This as discussed before will benefit both Sun and MSFT.irrational exuberance to hard core MSFT believers! But this is nothing but just irrational exuberance on the part of hard-core MSFT believers. At the same time this may cause some concerns among SUNW share holders mainly because of the perception that is thought to be given to the industry that Microsoft's Java VM is universal and does not require MS proprietory OS. However I believe this will remain to be just a wishfull thinking , mainly due to the fact that the industry has already adopted Sun's pure Java VM. Nevertheless, some may argue that this will be confronting Sun a little bit of challenge for the first time ever from Microsoft. However, in my opinion this is not a challenge at all!! And in fact this can be viewed as a development that is very much beneficial to Sun, and from what I have heard from a couple of architects at Sun this has been something that Sun has been hoping for Microsoft to do!boost in the sales of servers , and those who benefit the most are the server makers (especially Sun).
