Eric, my observation is that for some reason SUNW is not focused on what they intend to do with their technology. On the other side MSFT for example is very focused on legally stealing or wrestling away technology and then go on a marketing blitz to gain monopolistic dominance. As you may remember 1. DOS was stolen (sure they just rented it only for a presentation) 2. Icons / windows was stolen (oh yes they paid a token) 3. Dbase2 nobody even remembers 4. Wordstar is it used anymore??? 5. Visicalc who are they ?? <ggg> 6. Netscape/Internet Oh well, it is now well documented 7. LINUX - just a bounce of amateurs - squash them and the list goes one. Conclusion for all - engage in stealing and turn a profit fast, your attorney will pave the way for future sucessfull piratic attempts!! <gggg> Most of the irony is that now MSFT is complaining about "its stolen software being used with out pay - e.g pirated" Oh well does not MSFT own substantial money to the writer of DOS?? for example?? So the is it not a wonderfull business practice?? Just get yourself a excelent attorney!! BWDIK Haim
