sun microsystem has just drifted to microsoft, after they''ve paid them $ 2 million. they made a treaty, that sun is going to make it''s system more "microsoft friendly", and thereby help microsoft increasing influence on the server sector... since sun has been THE legal opponent of microsoft, this might have pretty bad results for the gnu-community, for sun is no longer "supporing microsofts enemies". sun also has commited that linux is a "potential thread" to their solaris project, while gcc would be bad for the sales of their compiler suits. lukily it seems like sun''s chief, scott mc nealy is going to resign, and the new chief might change suns policy... so i appeal anyone to boycot sun''s products ( especially staroffice and sun''s "one studio" ) until they changed back to their former position

until they switch back to a money losing battle with microsoft?

eh... no. Just because they''re pretending to be all buddy buddy doesn''t mean they''ll hesitate to stab them in the back.

Hey, just because Sun stops fighting the Enemy doesn''t mean we should boycott them. Saying that someone has formed a friendship with someone does not mean that they are the same as that someone. Anyways, they forced the Enemy to give $2 million for this deal. Whenever M$ loses money, that''s a good thing.

If only I could just write them down...

Strange that you anti-MS zealots didnt realize that the figure is actually closer to $2 billion than $2 million. In today''s IT world, 2 mil is chump change.

OMFG! if you give the hand to the devil you will soon have lost your arms and more...
