There's nothing like it
A headline in the New York Times:
New Set of Servers Announced by Sun
The announcement by Sun surprised many analysts. "I thought Sun was doing pretty well," one said. "It has its ups and downs, but it's been amazingly consistent over the long haul. You have to wonder: Why now?"
Some insiders speculated that the move was brought on by the perception that Sun was falling behind the times. "We live in a 24-7 environment now and Sun is down about half the time," an insider said. "That just doesn't cut it anymore."
Competitors, such as Moon, were less impressed. "Apparently it’s not enough that the rest of us bask in Sun's glory," Moon said. "Now Sun is scrambling to gobble up even more market share. I think it's pathetic."
Sun was busy early Tuesday and unavailable for comment.
