I agree that Sun would have to have to do something dramatic to avoid what is looking more and more like an inevitability at this point, but what could stop this slide toward the same fate as DEC? Might they have anything in the works that could save them? What could it be?"

    Make it clear Java is strong competition for .Net and let MS buy them out.

    But they blew that one when they settled out of court.

    Maybe I just don't get it, but Looking Glass looks pretty silly to me. Who the heck really wants to see the back of a window, anyway? It sounds more like a clever parody than a real business model.
