Solaris is a toy

Sun doesn't understand that UNIX hardware is now commodity, and sold cheaper and higher-performing by Dell, and that Linux (just about any distro) is more fully-featured than Solaris. Which do you think people are going to buy with the economy the way it is?

I remember when Sun unbundled their compiler and a friend said "an OS without a language compiler is a toy" and it's still true.

Worst of all Scott McNealy reminds me of Ken Olsen, and we all know how that went.
