You know... Sun should have used all the "cash" that they had lying around to buy themselves instead of buying MySQL.... and they shouldn't have bought the "Cobalt" Linux server appliance business in the 1990's either.....
AND, most importantly, Sun should have bought a company like Juniper during the dot com boom in the 1990's instead of buying Cobalt.... If you combined Sun's switches with Juniper routers fifteen years ago, Sun could have annihilated CISCO IMO (at least performance wise) and would have billions in cash on hand. The network is the computer, right? So why focus on only making servers and not on routers and switches and VOIP phones and firewalls and network appliances like that? Andy Bechtolsheim keeps leaving Sun to make high performance switches and network appliances and then Andy's companies inevitably get bought up by CISCO, it just doesn't make sense. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
