They sound like other companies in the '80s which were fighting to keep market share from the broad platform, inexpensive and easily-licensed solution MS gave customers. The wheel turns.

The companies who make the mistake of migrating from IBM to Intel/2000 instead of IBM/Linux or Intel/Turbo Linux (it has datacenter) are doing so out of ignorance imo. When they find their databases inside .Net in 2 years it will be too late and too bad. It'll be like running a business inside AOL's network. They'll have no control over the network's protocols and partnering. Good riddance.

Don't feel to happy for Sun either. My company plans to move ALL UNIX applications to LINUX VM's running on IBM Z-series or S/390 (Mainframes) machines.
