One fly in the ointment is Sun's attitude towards NT - check out the quote from Sun's COO in PC Week Online: "We don't like NT. We think Solaris is a better operating system for servers," Zander said. Would you buy an application development system to run on your NT servers from a company that doesn't like NT???? What do you expect SUNW's COO to say? We think NT is great? There are many software products that I personally don't like, yet my company still works with them and it's one of my responsibilities to make sure that they integrate as seamlessly as possible with the rest of our operation. I would think that SUNW is taking a similar approach to NT. While SUNW thinks they have a superior product to NT, they must make sure that their customers have the choice and flexibility to use multiple platform environments.
