Interesting article with Sun's VP of software.  I have mixed feelings 
about the whole thing.

"Schwartz: I expect to take 10 percent of the market in the first year. 
Ten percent of a $30 billion a year desktop market is huge."

Great that they are willing to go toe-to-toe with Microsoft, and are very 
optimistic.

"Also, let me really clear about our Linux strategy. We don't have one. We 
don't at all. We do not believe that Linux plays a role on the server. 
Period."

Sad that they still don't understand the benefits of Linux...

"The only operating systems that have credibility on Intel are Microsoft 
Windows, Solaris and Linux."

Haha now that's just funny.  Do ya'll know anyone running Solaris on
Intel?  Hello, can you spell BSD?  Ever hear of Netware?  Sure Netware as 
we know it may be on its way out, but to say it isn't a credible OS is 
silly.  I'd venture to say the number of production *BSD boxes far 
outnumber Intel Solaris boxes.
