So, thread-bump.
After about 2 weeks of silence I'm still waiting for news from Oracle on
this list.
Our local retail sent us an invoice for Sun Ray 3 / 3+ with the hardware
support and I asked them if it was optional, they haven't called back.
We are also decided to buy Sun Fire Servers, but have put this on hold to
see the solution for the whole edu-scandal.
After some thought I decided that the things that bother me today, 2 weeks
after the drama, is that when I buy something, I want to have the right to
use it forever. I don't buy a computer, just to pay a yearly fee for the
right to use it. I can understand paying a yearly fee to get software
updates, but if I don't I can at least run the old software.
Also the pricing is a bit hefty, it needs to compete with workstations. If
they cost more than workstations they need to be better than workstations
in all aspects. Which they might, I haven't tried the 3+ yet. We are
thinking of going with second hand SunRay 2, since we bought RTU-licenses
in bulk a couple of years back because we were worried something like this
would happen.
So... Any news yet?
