Some 85 or 90 % of the computer population is wintel based. It would seem to me that Sum should try to get their less than 10 % market share compatible with the rest, not get the other 90 % to change. DEC and HWP are in the same market as Sun and have reached this conclusion. Why fight a war if you do not have to. Sun management should hope and pray that the CPQ-DEC buy goes badly. And should be working like hell to improve their technology and market share in case it doesn't. They can not fight two battles one with CPQ and the other with MSFT even with the DOJ on their side. Their future is about as bright as Custer at Little Big Horn, if CPQ starts picking at their market. Developers will port to all the platforms that can give them profits. Doesn't everyone remember what happened to Lotus. Gene
