Sun Tries Subscription Software Pricing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the headcount dept.

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.

    Please boycott sun, redhat, novell, ximian and all other commerial companies working on the gnome project. KDE is evil to, since they are partially owned by the SCaOnopy gloup!

    Please switch to fluxbox and use fox-toolkit based apps instead.
