Yeah, the thing that really gets me is that they have all this pointless techo techno babble. I saw on ep yesterday where Voyager had been over run by that 'hunter race' - bad copy of a Klingon anyone? - and they were using the holodecks to simulate hunts. In the end they had to blow the whole hollow system to shut it down..... Obviously they haven't heard of Kill [proc ID]
I bet if they used decent OSes on their ships they would run out of plot lines
So what is Sun up to? Are they helping the OSS community or trying to get one back on MS for screwing up Java?
Probably a bit of both I think. But I reckon MS will still be ahead in the running unless Sun make Star Office 'enterprise' ready so that it runs on Sparc, IA32, IA64 68K etc. It would be cool if they put in other features like document management or other groupware stuff. Then they could _really_ challange M$.
