Sun is just a bunch of really smart developers surrounded by a bunch of fairly bozo sales and marketing folks, and headed by no one with a real vision.
They might as well give up.
"Without a vision, the people perish." (quoting scripture)
Sad, too, as I remember the early Sun quite well (at the 10-15 people phase), as they were a neighbor of ours in Mountain View, and we (Imagen, later QMS) swapped early laser printers for early Sun workstations.
