I'd like to apologize to anyone who though I was being condescending or
arrogant. That wasn't my agenda at all.
Ivar's business, like many of the people on this list, is selling Sun
Rays and/or Oracle VDI. I try to share what I know so that it may help
those who face these same comments and objections from customers, or
worse have to fight FUD from competitors.
For instance, you might be in a competitive situation against a thin
client vendor selling a WinTPC device. As I mentioned before, the big
claim MS makes is that devices that use this OS do not have to pay a
WVDA license is required. The competitor may bring up the fact that a
Sun Ray requires WVDA, but they'll forget to mention that SA is required.
I see this happen all the time and I'm just doing my part educate.
Think of this as free competitive marketing.
I don't dislike MS Operating systems. I don't dislike MS. And I
definately don't dislike people who use their operating system. I'd be
a self-hating Windows user if that was the case. ;)

I would ask you exactly where do you think all of our features have been
focused. Have you seen MMR, Flash, USB-R features for Solaris or Linux?
The person you are pointing your finger at is the biggest cheerleader
for Windows based access from Sun Rays in the entire universe.
What I'm asking people to please think about what they are asking.
I'm sorry I like to present facts, but that does not equate to sneering.
The Sun Ray business, with or without WVDA is already a business case.
That's what I'm trying to impart. $100 does not break the business, and
is not that far from what you'd pay with Software Assurance.

Obviously, if Oracle *could* do anything to improve the

it'd be worthwhile.
... and also, Oracle ought not sneer at people who want to access
virtualised Windows guests with their Sun Ray. You might detest that
use-case, but it's an important, main-stream use-case. Show us a bit
of love, please.
cheers,
David.
