Reasonable business model

I always think that Sun has its bipolar cycles. The latest is that it is putting Soffice on x86 Solaris. Maybe that's just a fish thrown to those users.

Sun's big deals with China and India don't invalidate the free software model. Sun can throw all the software 'over the wall', and still charge for the implementation and quality assurance. At a few dollars a pop for those billions, it is worth it! And as I said before, the big money is in all those servers to watch over everybody.
