Absolutely spot on. Move the dirt down the food chain so someone else can take the environmental footprint blame at a price. Ludicrous. An insult to public intelligence. A possible risk to sun data. Overall, outsourcing can be a good thing. It's the spin thats bad. You should outsource because someone else can do something more efficiently than you. What are sun telling us their weaknesses are? Managing datacentres? Come on! Noone manages data centres better than sun so they are outsourcing for one of two reasons. Spin or use of a cheaper region (i.e. cheaper people)
Well spotted by some slashdot readers but sun aint dumb. This will work because slashdot aint the world....
