One of the value propositions that made Sun's offerings strong was the tight coupling of their hardware platform and their OS and other software. It is similar to what Apple has in its Mac hardware and OS and software. The control they have over hardware and OS provides a high degree of integration that is perhaps the envy of many a vendor. -- ___ Eric Pareja (xenos AT upm.edu.ph) | Information Management Service [IMS] \e/ Network and Systems Administrator | University of the Philippines Manila _v_ ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~[ http://www.upm.edu.ph/~xenos ]~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." -Galadriel -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
