Acrobat replacement?
I'm not going to debate Sun's financial responsibility here, nor the
events that led up to recent events, but based on my knowledge of the
market, let me put it bluntly. If you want to fund those "5000
employees given the sack at Sun" to make a replacement for Acrobat/
PDF, please do. If you don't, and you can explain to me how you think
with the current financial situation at Sun they can justify this to
stakeholders, please do. Otherwise, STOP MAKING INFLAMITORY POSTS.
This isn't Sun-Discuss. This is OSOL-Discuss. Please stay on topic.
If you want to debate this further, take it to email directly with me
and whomever else you feel you need to vent to.
I mean, sure, if 5000 were just sitting around with nothing to do,
then sure, let them go, but givent he laundry list of things that
need to be done in OpenSolaris/Solaris, Sun should be hiring, not
firing.
I'm starting to get the idea you don't listen to reason, and your
sole purpose is to cause trouble.
