I think they should work with the LEO internet companies to launch telescope platforms also into space along with their network. Then astronomers get a better vantage point for their work and hobbies. And LEO Internet companies can get their networks built with less adversity from the astronomer communities. Win-win

You are NOT alone. Sun is an incredible company with some management issues that can be resolved.

I did not mean to imply that Netapp has not innovated. Netapp has had its innovative times. WAFL, flexvols, ONTAP... I cannot say that I have seen much out of them in the past few years with the exception of the Decru acquisition. We will have to see... Sun's roadmap is full of new projects and technologies that are adding value. The Storagetek comment was informational and directed towards the reference of another posting that mentioned Netapp had been around longer than patents that Sun/Storagetek may own. Which is certainly not the case. Matter of fact, STK has probably had some patents expire before Netapp was created.
