I will be disappointed if Sun gets bought by Oracle. I will be ok if they get bought by IBM..... I will be *pissed* if they get bought by Microsoft..... And I would *LOVE* it if Sun gets bought by SpringSource! 2. I've heard good things about Windows 7, too, and look forward to loading it on my machine. I don't know that it will put Apple on the defensive. I think it will *keep* Apple on the offensive. 3. Google yes, Apple no. 4. I agree. Microsoft has been working very hard to rehab their image. I think the key piece in their rehabilitaion is how they price and market Windows 7. If they screw up, they will get past by Apple. They could leap past Apple if they roll out Windows 7 as a Vista Service Pack upgrade. 5. No public comment. 6. Who cares. :) 1. I agree. I will be disappointed if Sun gets bought by Oracle.
