Off topic (once again.. let's put this to bed and agree to disagree.) I agree to disagree with someone who hasn't got a clue of what they are talking about. It is quite obvious you didn't read the information on the link I posted. Once again: standishgroup.com This time read it before you make your bombastic comments... :0\| Why don't you read it again too. I don't think you can. Marketing is MSFT's strength and SUNW's weakness. But in quality the roles are reversed. And in that article above, be sure to pay close attention to the costs involved in additional site licenses between the two systems and tell where a corporate customer gets the most bang for the buck. OHH your DD is telling on you again, I PAID EXTREME attention to the affordibility section, let me REFRESH you: Affordability When compared with Solaris, NT often has a higher price tag, much higher for large numbers of users. Particularly when you consider the possible increase in number of machines and personnel required for operations. For Intranet environments it appears NT can be much more expensive. That said, NT is certainly not expensive. When compared with other offerings, NT is very competitively priced. In addition, most software available to run on both NT and Solaris is invariably always cheaper on NT. And RON, that only takes into account software costs, you and I BOTH know the cheaper hardware costs only help the NT side as compared to SUN. And the bigger a company becomes the greater its marketing resources to peddle its inferior products. The solution?? Break the puppy up and maintain competive pressures to strengthen innovation. Sure break them up, so that the slower (JAVA) and more expensive (SUN WORKSTATION) can compete, and then our software and hardware market loses its competitiveness in the GLOBAL marketplace, you have lost RON. I may be conservative, but I'm not a libertarian. Well if you could read or had any IDEA what you were talking about I wouldn't care what you are. There is a role for Govt, and that role in business is regulation and the encouragement of competition and innovation. Unless that competition comes from foriegn borders friend, then the rules change, and it is no longer save that company, but save the country. You may be quantitatively right in your prediction of MSFT success, but I opine that your morally wrong for blessing it. Morally wrong to support one of the few companies that gives AMERICA a global dominance, I believe in my country, why don't you?
