What planet do you live on?

Planet an operating system is the same thing as a network?

Never heard of it.

Linux is a competitor to Solaris, but not to the internet.

How is linux( or any OS, or piece of software for that matter) going to force any company out of the internet?

Cut from the same cloth...

...and no plan in hand. Sun seems to forget it's not about Java, cool chips, or whining about Microsoft. Business is about revenue. Sun's losing on all fronts. Big iron = no revenues, Java = no revenues, Pushing Linux = no revenues.

Please enlighten us on Sun revenue plans. Why should companies even bother with Sun anymore?

I guess the only real reason is the new Sparc multi-core chips, other than that, no need to even bother with Sun anymore.
