  Nice way to start a flame war :) But this sounds a bit FUD to me, but 
we are in year 2006:
	The Cobol era is over.
	A mouse souldn't cost 60 pounds any more.
	A motherboard of a pice of crap AS/400 shoun't cost 8000 EUR anymore.
	My Sun E-250 looks very nice and blue, but is *very slow*. For the 
price of a memory upgrade of this machine, I can buy an x86 that 
outperforms it.
	If Oracle/Sun/IBM had got the idea sooner, Microsoft may not be where 
it is now. Now wants to opensource Solaris10? Too late, I'm not interested.
