As Brad said, it couldn't further from the truth. It happens all the
time in this business. You have a bunch of parrots that just
repeat what they are told from their management. They have no clue about
what they are saying, and just try to spread FUD.
I remember two years ago sitting in a room with a bunch of VMware guys
who told us XEN was DOA when Citrix bought
it, and that it was going to be to hard to merge it into their other
products. Two years later, and I have customers
that tell me that they are adopting XEN over VMware. Not because VMware
is bad, but because it's extremely expensive,
and there are solutions that can give them what they need for a fraction
of the price. They know their days at the top are
numbered, and their install base is slowly eroding, but I didn't think
they would get that desperate, and start spreading
this kind of FUD.

Oracle is significantly more interested in it's acquired desktop technologies
than Sun execs ever were.
View 4 works today with the Sun Ray connector for View if you follow the
instructions for https access.

Hi all, I just attended a VMware View 4 training this am in Dallas and they
were boasting the whole notion of thin client computing and the speed and
performance (yada, yada, yada) and I asked if it is supported on Sun Ray or
with the Sun Ray infrastructure, his answer was that since Oracle officially
announced it is discontinuing Sun Ray client server program this year, they are
NOT supporting Sun Sun Ray components in View 4.
Did I miss something? Is this true that Larry Ellison said Sun Ray and Sun x86
servers are now being EOL by the end of 2010??? I spent the past hour surfing
sun.com, oracle.com and didn't see any news about that.
