>no sunw doesn't have a future in embedded. sunw has a future in restructuring.< That's very lame! Everybody restructures all the time! It is a constant, especially for fast moving, rapid growth companies like SUNW! (and many, many more) Do yourself a favor and buy yourself some SUNW stock! That way you can be a part of the big ride!! Antitrades!!

>twisty writes >yes msft will commoditize the db market. SQL Server has a market in the small office environment but when any company requires a database with real horsepower on a platform that scales they look toward Oracle/Sybase/Informix on UNIX; specifcally on Solaris with some kick-ass iron like an E6000 or E10K. Not some lame NT box that crashes a couple of times a week and can only scale to 4CPU's. p.s. MSFT win98 is nothing but a bug release for win95 which introduces more bugs and NT is NotThere. Sink another $billion Gates and maybe you'll have an OS that can stay up for more than a couple of days ! ;)

youve spoken once again - look for a big run up in Sun stock! the July 23 issue of Business Week disagrees with you - this mainstream publication gives Sun the decisive edge over Microsoft in the embedded space businessweek.com "..Even so, observers say Java, with 80 consumer licensees, has more momentum across a wider variety of products than CE. For instance, TCI will use Java as the programming standard in all 12 million of its set-top boxes, making CE play second fiddle to Java. And last month, a European mobile-phone venture of Nokia (NOK.A), Telefon A.B., and L.M. Ericsson (ERICY) spurned CE and chose software from England's Psion PLC, which will use Java. ''Java has so much investment being thrown at it,'' says Dataquest Inc. analyst Larry Perlstein."
