Why do respondent's keep talking about what people are doing with Sun Rays
at home? I don't think this is Sun's target market. (Whether or not it
should be is another discussion.)
You seem to have completely missed my point.
Please re-read the immediately preceding and following sentences (left
intact above) to my "at home" comment.
New tech doesn't get widely deployed until it's cost-effective.
There's a very steep curve to that.
Just because someone might invent 100Gb ethernet doesn't mean everyone
is going to immediately switch to it any more than everyone
immediately switched to 10Gb when it came out. I know of no sites that
use 10Gb, though I do see 1Gb in server rooms... I still only see
100Mb to the desktops. 1Gb cards are actually pretty cheap these days
(though not $6 like a 100Mb card), but 1Gb router ports are not.
Also, just because someone comes up with a faster network doesn't mean
the user interface will suddenly change to something that requires it.
My 100Mb line certainly isn't saturated and I have 3 systems attached
to one port! (via a switch, obviously)
