Sun's Scott McNealy's Days are Numbered?

alek writes "The Wall Street Journal writes 'Dusk could be near for Sun's McNealy' where they conjecture that the founder and and CEO of Sun Microsystems might be leaving soon. They suggest that the return of former CFO Michael Lehman and and a more active Board pressing for improved performance could result in COO Jonathan Schwartz taking over the top job. We've heard stories like this for years but Scott has hung in there for a long time - his response to the WSJ was 'That rumor is about 22 years old and still chuggin.'"

"thier 4000% margin policy"

Quite. I wanted to use Solaris for my small company and looked
into buying some ultrasparcs. Yeah , right. HOW much just
for the CPU box WITHOUT monitor, keyboard or mouse and with
some 5 year out of date graphics card?? Suns marketing dept are still living on Planet 1980s when Unix hardware really could command a serious premium over PCs.
Not now though , at least not in the low end of the market
(high end servers are another matter).
