An update on my side.
I tried contacting both Wim Coekaerts and Brad Lackey off list to see if they
would work with me in saving the Sun Ray infrastructure here at CSU. I got
no response back from either of them. I have sent multiple emails. Which
leads me to believe they really cannot do much in helping the edu sector with
pricing.
I get the same feeling. Only that I get hordes of offlist emails from
Oracle and the only thing certain is that every mail is crazier than the
former.
Which summed up to LOADS of crazy stuff now and the only reason I haven't
put it all on this list (yet) is because I get this weird mindblock every
time I read them. I've lost sleep two nights and I caught a cold (and was
in bed for a week). My retail (the one that is being pushed out by) says I
got sick due to all the stress.
I'm considering leaving IT and become a cartoonist - I would rule!
Oh, and every time I cough from the cold it sounds *SCO* *SCO*
So weird

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?
