Craig, As unethical as it sounds, other peoples good intentions are often abused. Using OEM products on a free-ride basis for evaluation is pretty much the norm. Consumers do similar by purchasing products for incidental use, then returning for refund. While it's unfortunate Sun Micro didn't select Ancor as its primary supplier, we don't know with any degree of certainty there was an ulterior motive on the part of Sun. It does appear though selection of Brocade's product was based more on political rather than price/performance reasons. TG
