Sun's Schwartz Speaks Out on Linux, SCO
An anonymous reader writes "In an interview with eWeek Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's executive vice president for software, states: "We do not believe that Linux plays a role on the server. Period. If you want to buy it, we will sell it to you, but we believe that Solaris is a better alternative, that is safer, more robust, higher quality and dramatically less expensive in purchase price.". Also: "IBM is being so hypocritical. If the issue is a non-issue, why don't they indemnify their customers?""
"we believe that Solaris is a better alternative, that is safer, more robust, higher quality and dramatically less expensive in purchase price."
In other news, Ford recommends Ford cars, Dell have a high cosideration of Dell products and McD suggests we all eat a hamburger.
What's wrong with people today?
Obviously smoking the same stuff as SCO.
You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.

Remember, Linux isn't free, it's $699.
Litigious bastards
All the prices you see on the sun website are negatives... They're all just the amounts they're willing to pay you for using it.
Can somone say slow news day!
There is no god
Mensa, huh? Your IQ may be high, but your short term memory is shot to hell. You posted this exact same thing yesterday.
Anyone else care to explain what this actually means?
"IBM is being so hypocritical. If the issue is a non-issue, why don't they indemnify their customers? And if you don't need to indemnity, why do you have the world's largest patent litigation team inside IBM suing the bejesus out of the entire industry, holding them up for ransom on IP that you claim is yours that they have purloined. Well, go look in the mirror guys. This will tear that company asunder."
It would seem to be yet another example of a bunch of words that don't really mean anything but that appear to support your argument if the reader isn't paying much attention.
Is IBM suing the bejesus out of the entire industry?
Apparently IBM is holding the entire industry to ransom with IP that I claim is mine that IBM has, apparently, purloined.
I often answer questions like this when I am still asleep (or tripping). I can string together a grammatically correct sentence, but it means nothing, in fact it looks like something Lewis Carol wrote...
(I am still unsure who is supposed to look in the mirror or what they will find when they do so.)
My initial reaction to this is 'Fuck*rs!' Here is a multi-billion $ Corportation doing untold PR damage to the community's fight against SCO. Did you notice the bit where he implied that Sun would take on IBM themselves, or by proxy, if SCO loses?
Sun are on my list from this moment on. A new axis of evil has emerged (MS/SCO/Sun) and we will fight them on the beaches...
Bastards!
Trust The Computer, The Computer is your friend.
Solaris is a better alternative, that is safer, more robust, higher quality and dramatically less expensive in purchase price.
Does that mean Sun will pay you to use Solaris?
Did anyone else read the tagline as "Sun's Schwantz Speaks Out on Linux, SCO"?
