Hell, Sun doesn't even eat (much) of their own dogfood.

I won't tell you of my relationship with SUN but I can assure you that there are SUN Rays, Blade 150, Ultra Sparc 10's, 5's and 20's everywhere, infact, it is a chore trying to find atleast one machine with Windows running on it, either via the PCI expansion card or on an x86 via vmware.

Depending on the office (internation location), most of SUN have moved over to SUN Ray appliances.

If you want to jump on someones case, how about SCO who uses Windows 98 and Netscape 4.7 in their organisation. The old, "everyone use UnixWare, but we wouldn't touch it with a 40foot pole" routine.

As for Java, in an upcoming Staroffice there will be the ability to write macros in Java.
