Looking at the last quarterly reports, Sun's not doing so great. What are they missing?

  Once bit, twice shy. They charged a mint through the 90s and into the early 2000s and a lot of companies got burned paying off those contracts after the cash flow tightened up. Many of them refuse to do business with them. They're also really banking on parallel processing (i.e. with CoolThreads) which will probably catch on with cloud services rather than directly with development houses. It takes a totally different mind-set to develop for 128 simultaneous threads. They have some killer technology though. DTRace still blows my mind.
