http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/081114/sun_microsystems_layoffs.htmlI don't know how accurate this assessment is, but it doesn't sound too good:"[...]Sun's latest woes have ramped up speculation that one of the moststoried names in computing could be snapped up dirt-cheap by a bigger rival. Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., and Dell Inc. are all possible suitors
Hmm. Market cap == cash on hand. Why not go private? Sun should buy itself out and be done with it. Then, focus on long-term stability instead of bloody quarterly earnings.
well, it's not too surprising, when they are wasting time trying to make[Solaris next] "Just like linux", instead of just taking "the good bits" from it, and combining it with what makes people like Sun/Solaris over linux.
