"So asserted Jonathan Schwartz, president of server and software maker Sun Microsystems. Instead, what has become important are Web services on the Internet and the mobile phones most will use to access them, he argued at a Friday speech here at a meeting of the American India Foundation."
Well, I guess that means that many Sun systems are day before yesterday then? But seriously, if people want to risk losing important stuff by storing it on devices with MTBFs measured in minutes, who's gonna stop 'em? As noted a couple of articles below, the marketplace is a fickle and often stupid one (why else would so many people be running Windows?) and sometimes it takes years for quality to sort itself out above marketing magic. Quality EVENTUALLY wins, and smart shoppers (like (now) the State of Mass) get to laugh at the rest of us, err, THEM.
