Do you think it is a good (and profitable) purchase? SUNW keeps buying several "niche market" companies and it is unclear to this investor how all the pieces are going to come together to deliver higher revenues and earnings. For example, two years ago when SUNW was acquiring storage hardware and software companies, it was clear what the final product offering would be. It was not too hard to figure out how these purchases contributed to new sales and growth. Recently, it is not clear to this investor how (and when) the most recent SUNW purchases will contribute to future (i.e. next year) earnings. EKS
