Where's Sun main money maker? Its enterprise servers. But somehow, I feel that Linux is slowly nibbling profits from Sun. Maybe it is just a illusion from IBM, but it is a mighty good one.
And now, Sun is spreading themselves too thin into markets they aren't sure they would get a profit. A small company like Sun should focus on its main money maker and try to extend its life till it's books get in black again.
