Too bad mediocrity seems to be the aim of the industry. Right on! If the huge power of HP cannot show the world the true advantage and technical superiority of the above, then perhaps no one can. I wonder what Sun thinks of this whole thing?? I mean, there is a considerable difference in the size of the new HP/Apollo and small Sun... Since before, Sun and Apollo were ~~about~~ the same size of company, perhaps Sun is looking for a buyer or stronger aliance etc. A Sun and AT&T merger ?
