#4 Hmmm. Citrix bought Xen. Soon all the "open sores" software will be for-pay products. The new owners will still let you free download a stale version that will only get staler with time. Just watch...

#5 K Mart bought Sears (Still seems backwards to me) now Sears stores are overpriced Wal Mart copies, food in one corner, overpriced junk in the rest. Havent looked at their tools lately, probably "Sears-Mart" quality. (Crappy)

#7 How much do you pay for open office?

Same as I pay for (another Sun product) Java. Sun has done more to advance the computing field than just about any other company (with the possible exception of Bell Labs).
