Yeah, I'm the comment was in reference to iPlanet6.x because analysts are always saying "SunONE Application Server" when they really mean iPlanet6.x. The negative comment represents one man's opinion and I agree with you. They are giving away SunONE Application Server to give the billing department a rest, not because nobody would pay money for it. I think the same logic is behind the inclusion of the "demo" version of weblogic. It's just a way of offering the customer freedom of choice, but then you have to fork over the big bucks to use either of them in a production environment. Some people have commented that IBM is killing them in the market place on the high end while JBoss is sweeping in on the flanks. I disagree, this is just Sun's kind heart and concern for customers at work.
"What [Sun CEO Scott McNealy] either doesn't realize or won't admit is that the SunONE Application Server is of such poor quality that they're having trouble even giving it away," said Jason Bloomberg, an analyst at ZapThink LLC., Cambridge, Mass." ep ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Hogan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 10:37 AM Subject: Re: [JBoss-user] Sun One to Challenge JBoss > This is a pretty slanted article because the SunONE 7.0 app server which is being discussed wasn't even released until about a week after the article was published.
