RE: [cobalt-users] Sun Solaris??? Bad Business Decision

["Lyle Scheer" <lyle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Heh,

	I find it somewhat amusing how far off the deep end some of you are going
because of a comment from a Sun executive who is deeply invested in the
Solaris operating system.

	Have you considered that Sun purchased Cobalt because Cobalt could do
something that Sun could not?

	I'd personally like to think that we are the Linux DNA that will infect Sun
and cause them to grow into the ability to support two operating systems.  I
hardly think Linux can replace Solaris at Sun, but I do think that this
might be good to shake up the thinking of some of Sun's executives,
including those that work directly on Solaris.

	A good article I saw today can be found here:
