    Watch the angry posts come flying in but seeing there seems to be some die hard unix members in here, who are disgusted everytime they hear anything about microsoft being useful in anyway...

    Was wondering what people thought about the Sun & Microsoft new partnership...

    I think Sun sold out, plain and simple. They were heading for oblivion and needed the money. I think the company would have been better off dead.

    Interesting to see that Microsoft published something on SourceForge the other day.

    Interesting play. One would think SF would be an anathema to them.

    It's amusing, especially given that at the sun developer day I was at a little while back they were saying that they were concentrating on "taking out the big guy" ... indeed.
