Under a Big Blue Sun
by Volker Weber
Iif you peruse Sun's marketing materials from time to time, you may have heard the news. Sun says Linux should not be used on mainframes. It seems that Linux on a mainframe is not cost-effective -- at least if you are Sun and you don't make mainframes.
Is that a cynical opinion? You betcha.
I've been in the IT industry for two decades. I know the game. Vendor A says it has invented the greatest thing since American cheese food product slices in cellophane sleeves. Vendor B says vendor A has been sniffing the ink from its press releases too long, because everyone knows that Vendor B rules the IT world.
And so it goes.
