You do see the parallel here from your own well I take it? Your current employer, Sun, also didn't care much about the existence of competition in the form of Linux and Open Source and had quite a wonderful year in 2002. I see Sun servers going out doors instead of coming in them as they did a few years ago. Are you sure we don't all have our own wells we sit in? Don't assume anyone ever has the advantage of being the only one on a mountain. It will kill you every time. I prefer to enjoy many technologies and not be blindly wed to any one. Nothing on this earth is sacred or assured.
