This is good for us. I wish Sun could by Microsoft and then they would surely open source Windows, Office, etc. The more companies Sun buy, the better for us! :o)

If SUN bought Microsoft, dont you believe they would open source Windows, Office, etc? SUN would open source everything else in their product portfolio Solaris, Java, SPARC CPU, ZFS, DTrace, etc etc etc, except Windows, Office, etc? Is that so, you mean?
