RE: Hans

Lol, and did you read down to the bit where it said SPARC revenue and sales down, Integrity sales up? That would be the Itanium servers trouncing the Sun ones, then? Or the bit about how HP is the number one server vendor by a clear margin, and Sun isn't even close to second? Want to check out the Gartner Magic Quadrants? I thought not. You just keeping blathering away whilst Sun goes down the pan!

Every time you hear some Sunshiner trying to account for why HP is doing so much better all you hear is them whining about printers as though the product is some form of unmentionable beneath Sun's consideration. Well, the truth is HP got ahead in printing through innovation and beating the competition, just like they have in x86 servers and disk storage, areas they now lead, whilst Sun's pathetic attempts have led nowhere. Are HP the only company making printers? No, there are a number of well-established competitors they had to beat to get the top spot. Scott McNealy would sell his mother to have the same market presence in printers or any any enterprise arena as HP has in just about all. Face it, Sun claims to be a leading innovator but the truth is they have been left behind by HP, IBM, Dell and even FSC. Trying to rip off Linux is not going to save them.
