Sun must be getting desperate. Actually this quote is interesting: "Schwartz isn't alone in saying that hardware will someday be "free," so long as customers sign up for multiyear software subscriptions and services contracts." A multiyear bundled hardware/software/service contract sure smells of "lease" to me. I wonder if they let you keep the hardware after the contract expires. ray
