Sun Microsystems flexes Linux to jab at Microsoft | |
|

| Time: 07:45 EST/12:45 GMT | News Source: Seattle Times | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

It didn't take long for the fireworks to begin at LinuxWorld. While exhibitors at the trade show dedicated to the freely shared Linux operating system were still building booths yesterday, Sun Microsystems launched broadsides at Microsoft and other rivals as it announced a new low-cost, Linux-based server. Sun also hinted it's developing an inexpensive Linux PC for users of its StarOffice productivity suite, posing a challenge to Microsoft's dominant Windows operating system and its Office suite. | ||

"Sun has become a leader "by being totally focused: No PDAs, no game consoles, no digital cameras. That's our strategy, providing infrastructure for the network," he said."
McNealy is as delusional as ever. What exactly does Sun lead in? They aren't even a leading vender for Java tools. After MS was barred from Java, IBM took their place. As usual, all talk and little/no credible market competition. RE: Sun's desktop computers As analysts in the article said, I don't see these being adaquate competition for Windows PCs. The main market for these computers are people buying Linux distros and Lindows PCs. This post was edited by n4cer on Tuesday, August 13, 2002 at 08:24. |

This story should read: "Sun scared sh*tless of Linux, doesn't know what to do, isn't making money on anything, so joins the dark side and pushes Linux as last-ditch effort to avoid buyout by IBM"
Or, perhaps this is a ploy by Sun to win favor from IBM for a buyout? |
