Unless they're getting a 'Dell' like deal from Sun. Remember who bought
Netscape's Server Business? Now Sun has the Netscape Application Server
(NAS) to round out their hardware/software solution. It's one of
WebObjects main competitors in the enterprise app server market.
And if you though WO was over priced, we were quoted $35k per CPU for
deployment. That means a 4 cpu machine = 4*$35k= $140k for deployment.
$50k for an unlimited CPU/unlimited tpm license starts to look pretty
attractive.
