I'm beyond worried... If IBM acquires Sun, how will I ever be able to properly explain what the Solaris tattoo on my pastie white derriere is all about?
Let's face it, AIX is a pain. Mainframes are dead, why do I have to be reminded of the awkwardness of them every time I have to log into a p570? Not to mention the reliability vs Sun is horrendous. You spend all your days doing firmware upgrades, just to spend weeks on the phone with clunky IBM support to tell you "Oh yeah.. now that we think of it, just ignore that error.
I would love to see Google buy Sun. I can't really think of anyone who I would like to see buy Sun. Fugitsu would be one possibility I guess. I just hate to see all these great things come out of Solaris 10 (zfs, zone cbvm's) just for the company to crash and burn.
