Sun Tries Subscription Software Pricing

Sequoia writes "According to this article, 'The company's new pricing model for its systems will be based on a company's employee count, as declared in a company's annual filings with government regulators. Sun will charge $100 an employee for a single package that includes an application server, a Web portal and security software, among other components -- all of which Sun executives say will work together in a more integrated fashion than they did previously.'" Sun's press information is a little more informative.

Sun MMORPG

[CHaN_316]

Wow..... Sun is announcing a pay to play scheme. This is great! It's a MMORPG right? This MMORPG is only charging $100/year per player, which is a pretty good deal, that's only $8.33 a month!

I hear this MMORPG is also skills based and they have many classes of character you could become. You can be tech-support, end user, programmer, system administrator, clueless user, and many more! This is going to be great!
