I do agree they have until 2005 to turn ship around.
about the product support, sun stands behind solaris.. as you can see since schwartz has become president its turning into a core peice of their business, like java. by 2005 if sun does not become profitable i will believe it is doomed mainly due to mcneely and others trying to live in the past... according to schwartz he claims they know the problems and are applying basic changes and over time they will become profitable.

I personally think Sun should buy out PC company like microtel to keep in pace with its competetors.
JDS may not be just a way to make money off linux but since you promoted it as an only alternative you have should burry your head sun, with these false claims it makes sun look low. Maybe its because of all the layoffs......... I think if sun acquired SkyOS and paid their developers it would be better ;-)
