Re:Sun Sours on Open Source? (Score 1)

I agree, I shall switch to Open Office as soon as they firm up the announcement, SO6 will not be installed even on my UltraSparc 5. I wonder if any opensource developers will ever trust Sun again. Sun is really about selling SPARC running Solaris, Linux and anything else is a necessary evil - "Linux on Mainframes don't make sense", "Sun will supply Linux on Intel based servers for EDGE services". You get the distinct impression that there is a concerted campaign to rubbish Linux whilst saying they've nothing to fear from it. They intend to supply Linux in low end applications, convince customers that it's no good for much else and hopefully set them up as Solaris converts. If you've seen and understood the utter rubbish they give out about mainframes, you can see they are hurting under the weight of the competition and clutching at straws.
