I guess Sun is getting desparate. They will not even be in business much longer. All their good people jumped ship becuase they know Sun's days are numbered.

Where'd you get this information?

From people inside the company, and they are all outside the company now. Sun is imploding.

I wouldn't say all their good people jumped ship, but the the future of Sun is not looking that postive.
 
That's friggin hillarious. It could only be funnier if the plane was dropping flaming bags of poo with the Sun logo on them!

I hear the same things, a good friend of mine is pretty high on the food chain at Sun and works at the broomfield Colorado campus. she tells me all sorts of things that are happening within sun and its not pretty.

And it'll be just as slow as the last generation, or the generation before that.

I hate our Sun crap. Why do designers need a $15,000 workstation when we could get the same thing on x86 for 1/5 the price.

Actually, the sun servers in question are x86-64.
 
:thumbsup:

i used to work up there. i'd go over to the dickey's barbeque for lunch and get the free drink with dell badge. good stuff.
 
There was one of those flying around Downtown Oakland today too. Didn't say "Watch Out Dell" on it, but it did mention the new 64 bit server.

they cost the same, but one is better marketed, and aimed at "consumers"
