Well, yeah - the guy's take on Sun is just plain silly (interesting that it has garnered this many posts) but, even though he's clearly pretty much clueless (yep, he really got the CEO's name wrong!!!), he's got his finger on something. Sun's revenues are way down, that's a matter of public record, and it's because folks aren't buying Sun gear as much as they used to. The real question is whether Sun has ignored this and stuck its head into the sand (a la DEC) or whether they have recognized it and come out to prove they're not irrelevant. I believe the recent announcements of super-cheap hardware (from the V210 to the V60x to the V20z), the Java Enterprise Server pricing ($100/employee/year) and bringing early Solaris 10 out for the public to download and play with (sun.com/softwareexpress) are all indicative that Sun "gets it" and that the market is going to "swing back" to them. IBM's stock went under 50 in the early 1990's; they "got religion" and came back pretty aggressively. If they focus on what they do well (build great stuff and sell it cheaper than the competition, keep Solaris out in front, and deliver stuff that really helps sysadmins) I think they can come back, too.
