Why does the perception exist that Sun has been reluctant to adopt Linux?
O'Brien: It's just that we didn't have any products. We view 2002 as our
entry into the Linux and Solaris (Solaris x86 Platform Edition) for the
x86 market, and 2003 as our expansion phase there.
<snide comment>
I guess that piddly $2 billion acquisition (larger than all other Sun
acquisitions ever, combined!) in Dec 2000 meant *nothing* !!
Also notice how they are mentioning Solaris for x86 every time they mention
Linux...
