   fwiw: a ferrari will run just fine regular gas. Nothing special required with their engine/ignition combination.

   Don't flatter yourself into believing Sun is more than it really is. In many ways they are little more than a "has been" player in the corporate computer world. Are they important to the U.S. computer market? Not at all. They are simply another in a long list of players. Nothing too special about them these days.

3. Comment - Sun Brings Java Desktop to Wal-Mart Shelves

   Given Wally's track record at selling PC's, and Sun's somewhat unknown status in the consumer pc market I would say this has a very slim chance of success. Certainly nothing to get the crowd in Redmond too concerned about. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if MS is actually pleased to see Sun pick a huge retailer with ZERO in the way of trained sales/support to handle this product.
   I can see where Sun could have had a slim chance of success with a large retailer with trained sales and support. But, to think this is going to happen at Wal-Mart is nothing shy of wishful thinking.
   It can be tough enough trying to locate anyone in a Wal-Mart store to know what department an item is located in, much less be able to tell you anything about the product beyond whats printed on the box.
   Lot's of luck to Sun and Wal-Mart, but I don't think this is going to fly.
