Only one way out for SUN Microsystems before the last dying breath...
*Open up all the instruction sets for their SPARC CPU's.
* Drop some refubished Sun servers on the main guys at the Aurora project and partner with Red Hat.
* Finally strike up the deal the AMD and ASUS to use the 64-FX51's and build some x4 and x8 CPU boards and lose the properitary priced crap... ($250+ for a Sun dvd-rom? crack smokers! I bought a new pioneer CD-RW/DVD that supported 512kb reads for around $100) Other wise the money for the guts in a Sun box isn't worth the silcon it is fab'd on!!!
* Relaunch the lxrun program to allow all SUN applications/hardware to be compatible to run on Linux and vice versa... Should keep them floating until they can get away from strict Solaris and inovate the linux market with some of the good tools they already have (Solstice suite...)
* And have the damned exec board to QUIT THINKING like suits!!!!!
