For Sun to survive, the Board will have to make some radical changes - similar to Novell: Let Solaris die.

For the Linux people still in love with Sun: you may have fond memories (I did) but this isn't your older brother's Sun.

Consider this: How long would it have taken for Sun to make $1.9 billion in the Linux business? Seems to me, they saw a faster return playing nice with Microsoft than they did in digging in their heals and making Linux work.

Finally, Solaris is not Linux. No way, no how.
