Sun's Schwartz Speaks Out on Linux, SCO

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the alas-poor-yorick dept.

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?

    Remember, Linux isn't free, it's $699.
