- The most they can hope for is goodwill.

Like jackbond has just said, Sun are a hardware company. Thats where their unique selling point and skills are found - and they need to concentrate on that core business and work really hard to regain the ground they've lost in recent years. Anything else is a dangerous distraction.
I doubt whether it is easy to make much revenue from support contracts on applications software. Yes, you can do it on the OS (Solaris) because there's less scope for users to mess that up. But software, once you get into into the applications area, that's a minefield. - Posted by: peter_erskine@... Posted on: 05/07/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
