Why does anyone with a crappy web site and a domain name gets attention by the press? Who is AdTI and why should we care anyway? Why is there even an article about them on Yahoo! News? This is nonsense, these guys should just be put aside and be completely ignored, let them spew out their crap and die. But no, everyone has to react and that's exactly what they want.
Like a kid who's being a pain in the neck and is crying to his parents so they buy him his latest toy, let him cry, he'll eventually shut up and let go.
Why does nobody mention the high end stuff that Sun has like the E10K's or E12K's, There are some very demmanding applications that require loads of memory and processing power that I would just _not_ trust linux with.
I work for a telco equipment manufacturer and we use these babies for a lot of the accounting and billing stuff, one good example is an E12K with 10 gigs of ram and something like 132 CPU's which can handle over 1 million prepaid call authorization transactions per _second_ for a mobile phone network.
Try doing that with a Linux cluster, not to mention that Sun has some pretty good support options, altho expensive it is something Linux largely lacks, that thing called accountability that managers like so much.
They may have lost it in the lower end but there is still a big market for the higher end and Sun's hardware is pretty sweet./g.
