Da vidimo šta kažu iz Sun-a o svemu i još ponešto:
Schwartz: IBM is being so hypocritical. If the issue is a non-issue, why don't they indemnify their customers? And if you don't need to indemnity, why do you have the world's largest patent litigation team inside IBM suing the bejesus out of the entire industry, holding them up for ransom on IP that you claim is yours that they have purloined. Well, go look in the mirror guys. This will tear that company asunder. How do they resolve this? If they settle with SCO, that will simply fuel the next 50 IP claims against IBM. Even if SCO goes under, the claim will last a lot longer than the company. I think, moreover, we will continue to drive Solaris as an operating system on Intel, recognize what's happened to IBM, which made an enormous tactical error. The only operating systems that have credibility on Intel are Microsoft Windows, Solaris and Linux. Which one of them does IBM do? They don't own their own operating system that runs on the volume platform. So they will continue supporting other people's platforms. So will HP. While they have done a superb job of telling the world that Linux is the future, but sadly it may be true for them because they don't own an OS. We, on the other hand, have a safe, compelling and affordable product called Solaris that runs on Intel, Opteron and SPARC.
...
Also, let me really clear about our Linux strategy. We don't have one. We don't at all. We do not believe that Linux plays a role on the server. Period. If you want to buy it, we will sell it to you, but we believe that Solaris is a better alternative, that is safer, more robust, higher quality and dramatically less expensive in purchase price.

Schwartz: .. Look at the only two comparisons I think are relevant: Microsoft and Red Hat. We will compete with them based on price because they can't match our price.
eWEEK: What do you think Microsoft and Red Hat will do in response?
Schwartz: I think Microsoft will try and dismiss this as something customers aren't really interested in, but they will hear differently from customers. I think they will then have to respond by lowering prices. I think they are now the high-cost provider, and this equated into opportunity. Red Hat has neither the components nor the capacity to price on this basis, so I'm less worried about Red Hat.
