Weird. I don't remember ever hearing of this Kurt King guy. And I don't understand why Unix systems would be especially hard hit by any lockdown; after all, the Unix equivalent of the Y2K problem doesn't arise for about another 30 years. Nor do I see SUNW as having a "high forward multiple" compared to, say, Dell or CPQ, which he doesn't seem to have downgraded. Just weird.

JMHO.

The New York Times reported a few weeks ago that SUNW had increased its budget for Y2K, but the Times pointed out that you should not judge a company by the amount of money it spends in one quarter for the Y2K problem.

In my view, the point of the article is that a conservative company like SUNW will approach the Y2K problem in a slow and systematic way because they want to get it right.

Interesting what Charles says about UNIX though.
