Comment "Internet device" or embedded? (Score 1) 128
VA's got a bloody ludicrous market cap. VA's got wicked competition from Dell, Compaq, IBM, and in fact just about everybody. (It's hard to say who exactly the competition is because your plans for the future of VA are not yet clear.) VA's gonna have to have more on its plate than selling and supporting Linux servers or it's gonna lose another half of its value.
Sooo - does VA have any plans in the directions of ID's or in the embedded market? RTOS initiatives? Anything to differentiate it from other computer builders/linux consultants?
Put another way - Dell will, before too damn long - be able to put Linux on one of their systems in a sensible cojnfiguration. IBM, among others, can do consulting services/Linux support. What can you do that they can't?
