10/22 Does anyone here work as Sun? I'm pretty interested in their
next architecture, Rock. Any chance of it being released on time?

\_ You mean released before Sun goes out of business?
\_ Well, that would be good too, but I was specifically thinking
of 2Q 2009. -op
\_ Sun is not going out of business. They have $2.5B in the bank
and no debt. They've even made some money in both of the past
two years. Sun will keep puttering along for a good long while,
though they will likely continue to lose relevance. -tom
\_ $2.5B in cash but a market cap of $3.4B. Napster, anybody?
\_ Sun won't "go out of business". They will be in business
the same way DEC and SGI are still in business. I imagine
they are going to be acquired or go BK. |
