I'm not - not really interested in *anything* MS have to say! ;) IMHO selling to IBM would've been disastrous for Sun. It'll be interesting to see what happens to MySQL, Star Office (OOo) and xVM. I doubt MySQL will die as it's open source. What the deal does mean is that customers can get hardware, O/S and DBMS all from the same company and expect it all to work seamlessly. It avoids the situation where, when something goes wrong, individual suppliers point the finger at everyone else. I think Sun has a fantastic product line and would hope that would continue. I once described ZFS as "the best thing since sliced bread" to our account manager....I hadn't seen Sun Ray at that point! :) -- Paul Walsh _______________________________________________ SGD-Users mailing list SGD-Users@filibeto.org http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sgd-users
