- Tiak, on 02/13/2008, -0/+9...There really is a company named "Innotek"?... Wasn't that the company from Office Space?
- baalzebub, on 02/13/2008, -0/+9Sun is a good company, if not for Sun Linux users would not have OpenOffice or Java, both of which i use on a daily basis...
- majormar, on 02/13/2008, -0/+7I should say first that I work for Sun ...
However, Sun has contributed more lines of code to Open Source than any other company. An EU commissioned report verified it last year. - MrIso, on 02/13/2008, -0/+5PHP sure as hell is a company's product. That company is Zend. http://www.zend.com/en/
- geoken, on 02/13/2008, -0/+5Cool, VirtualBox is my virtualization app of choice.
As far as linux is concerened they're the only one's who've done anything with seamless integration (VMWare and Parallels both do this on OS X but not in Linux). VirtualBox also runs the fastest on my box. - baalzebub, on 02/12/2008, -2/+6since Sun bought MySQL seems to be the next logical step would be to buy Apache and/or PHP...
- Sammi84, on 02/13/2008, -0/+4No that's Initech :D

- Unclekoolaid, on 02/13/2008, -0/+4Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
- Remmy, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3I wonder if Sun will combine the two versions now and simply sell support. I use it on a daily basis for generating nightly Debian packages, but would love to see USB support in OSE.
- apsivam, on 02/13/2008, -3/+6Apache / PHP is not a company or a company's product so no one can technically buy these.
- phoenixp3k, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3Press release: http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2008-02/sunflash.20 ...
- Darkhacker, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2Trust me, it's good. I may be dugg down for saying this, but Sun is so open that I'd actually be worried if I were an investor. Take ZFS for instance. They're practically giving it away and it's probably the greatest file system ever written. In either case, I love Sun and expect only good things to come from this.
- swordedge, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1for many years, IBM sent all their OS/2 customers to Innotek, an IBM Business Partner. Now that OS/2 is gone, they do VirtualBox so that companies can run old but still useful apps on current hardware.
- cenarta, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1Wow, Sun keeps purchasing products that I love to use and rely on. What's next Ubuntu, CentOS, Apache & PHP? Boy if that happens I am going to be a little uneasy as my entire business would rest in Sun's hands. At least we all have the source, so if we don't like where they go with the projects....FORK!
- icechen1, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1This is a good news or a bad news for FOSS?
- majormar, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1Apache and Sun have a strange relationship especially when it comes to licenses. I don't see it happening.
- majormar, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1Yeah. I use the closed addition when I need USB support.
- badassninja, on 02/13/2008, -3/+1When in the hell is demonoid going to be back?
