    Does anyone even use SUN anymore? i mean really, take Unix for example. Then there's windows and linux, what percent is that? Add those two together and you have the differance about SUN. By the way, ok.

    This new linux pc project from Sun is doomed to fail for one simple reason: Sun is horrible. Their track record for stability and security is poor to say the least. If I were a corporate purchaser, would I trust a Linux box from Sun or a Microsoft Windows XP powered desktop from an innovator like Dell? Come on Squareball, give it up.

      First off, even though SUN has been quite bad in terms of sucking the customer dry financially, at least their product was somewhat effective from my memories of Ultra Sparc 2 and SUN OS during my college days. Now they are moving to the drivel called linux which always fails my test and Core Dumps in front of my customer's eyes every time(Redhat 7.1 KDE GUI). I do have to say that I moved to Windows OS the moment I graduated from UC Berkeley, and I recommend everyone do the same.

      Windows has always been the cost leader, producing products that are very high quality and selling them cheaply do to their incredible market share. Apple gouges the customer on technology that is 3-4 years behind the Windows-Intel world. SUN is equally bad, I mean just look at where their processors are(700-900mhz)!! And don't tell me that RISC processors and their related architecture are faster because clock speed doesn't count because it DOES!!! I have a ULTRA SPARC 3 that I got off of SUN's web site 6 months ago, and my Pentium 4 2.2GHz BLOWS IT OUT OF THE WATER in every benchmark I run!!! When my customers see the evidence, they stop complaining about Licensing 6 and are happy to sign up for software assurance. I then help them convert legacy Unix or God forbid Linux to the latest Microsoft Windows Solution.

      Sincerely,

      Martin Marvinski, MCSE MCSD MS

    The Liberty Alliance Project is an effort to establish a universal online authentication system that serves as an alternative to Microsoft's proprietary Passport online ID system. Both efforts have the same goal: let people surf the Web without having to constantly re-enter passwords, names and other data at different sites.

    The question is will Liberty Alliance Project be more secure than passport. Wait, who am I asking? Of course it will be better in security than M$. Who isn't?

    Well my view on this is somewhat subsided. How doe's the alliance affect consumer exchange throughout the business factory? EXACTYLY. SUN is doomed to become another windows CE and they know it, why else would they release this? Oh and might i add i am an expert. This will probably not affect most non front-end users, but the foreseable future is looking bright. The advances we find in science are totattly excusable, unlike SUN. Anyone ever play quake1? was it ever ported to work with SUN? well i dont know, but i do know this. Anyway, If anyone has any theory's about it please let me know. Ive got shorthands to go out and talk my bosses ear off, but he's busy with some day planner. In conclusion, SUN. Yes or no? I mean really. By the way, ok.

    Are you a fucking moron? I'll answer it for you: Yes. Sun is the leading Unix varient in the corporate world.

    I don't use Unix, in fact I use Windows XP, but one doesn't need to be a Unix expert to know that Sun Solaris is found in most unix shops in the real world.

    Perhaps a better question is "Does anyone use Linux anymore?" I used to run it several years ago, when it was the "hip" thing to do, but I long ago wiped out that partition (I think I replaced it with Windows 2000 but I'm not sure). Some of my friends also tried Linux during the "roaring 90s" but none of them are using it anymore either.

    Is Linux dead?
