Don't get me wrong. Sun is for me the most innovative IT company there
is. And it is dear to my heart that the get back to profitability as
soon as possible. And I'm sure they will with the products and services
in there portfolio.
Dropping a product it reasonable, but IMO the support has to continue.
The community and I have asked Sun since about June '08 to clarify the
future of Woodstock, but no response for months. And that is what
brought my on business at risk.

Stephan
