Sun suffers self-imposed Linux lobotomy

From The Register, the article talks about Sun’s constant flux of wether or not they like linux this hour(yes they can change that often). Some people were excited when Sun said they were going to start supporting and selling linux(Java Desktop Anyone?). There were always the nay sayers who wouldn’t give Sun a chance. Well I’m now officially going to stay on that side of the fence. I hate to say it (really I do). Sun sees the writing on the wall, but they *still* refuse to adapt to the changing market. They’re bent on riding Solaris to the ground if thats where its going to take them. Maybe one day they’ll wake up and pull a 180. IBM did… took them a while but they did it. Everyone else seems to be tip toeing around saying “maybe we will, maybe we won’t… we’re not sure”. Getting on the boat would be great, but the ships not going to wait for them. It opens the door for more players to step up and take their place however. Which would be good, because we don’t want everyone bowing out leaving IBM. Competition is a good thing.
