@amanfrommars & Matt

Feel Great Thanks and have been Indigo not blue or yellow all the way through. My view is Indigo is the best solution and also CISCO acquire EMC would be interesting. Don't mind who gets Sun or they get to keep themselves but it'd be nice to think of the Sun people and for some Sun technologies to survive perhaps.

HP and Oracle are fine as they are nice solutions that do work but do wish Oracle were more price realistic than price escalator on Power. Negotiate and bargain.

Matt, yep sure is fun to watch the Sun salesgrunts right now the point is no one knows and we customers know as much as this as they do.

I sold all my Sun Feb 2008 which was late should've sold Nov 2007 with the ridiculous four for one stock split.

The problem with Sun is Sun can't sell.

Fuji sometimes can but @Enter Fuji stage left . . . that's a bit the beer talking, NHS fiasco apart which is an exuse - a thin shell stuffed with a lie -- Fuji have their own broad set of problems running the business and don't have funds to compare with IBM, Cisco and the other major leaguers.

Note only IBM and Fuji have proven mainframe capabilities Z and GS21 some MF RAS spilt into SPARC64 and PRIMPEPOWER & MClass

If Indigo happens, then Fuji likely to be offered SPARC to buy and my guess is Fuji will want to continue it and service SUN SPARC base . . . unless IBM can get past antitrust and keep SPARC in which case will FUJI be compelled to continue to supply -- due diligence needed -- and its likely to fade away leaving POWER as king with Intel.

Are we ready for enterprise server duopoly or would an open competitive market be much better, its very early to converge enterprise innovation.

The out of the blue could be some new idea, waferscale cellular arrays or somesuch?

The uncertainty about Sun won't help this years numbers. Sun EOY = June 30th 2009.

Sun should've learned how to sell and that means gaining and keeping customer's trust and not the awful ego arrogance that appeared with their Y2K market blip success.

Regards
