Sun To Pursue Linux Desktops?
You know you're off to a bad start when the media start to refer to your plan as a "Frankenstein-like" strategy. Of course, if the shoe fits... Perhaps all will be clear after the official announcement, but at the moment, there doesn't seem to be much reason to buy into this, unless of course, you really hate Microsoft. But even there, with all the frustration expressed with Microsoft few people appear to have taken the step of kicking them out. IDC data reveal that the penetration of Linux on the desktop has increased for six straight years - but it still rests at only a 1.7 percent share of the client market.

Rally round the lawyers as IP issues slow adoption of the standard.
