machine is a life-or-death issue because the company's hardware and
operating system are being eclipsed by faster Intel and AMDchips and
by the Linux operating system. So Sun's motives are understandable.
But the method is underhanded. 

I urge organizations to consider whether they want their software
infrastructure to depend on an essentially proprietary software
