Thanks to the MANY people who replied. I have not sent direct mail to a
lot of you as there were over 50 posts to me...more than I ever expected!!
A rough distribution of comments was:
75% Very annoyed, think Sun are going Big Blue
15% Did not care, thought Market forces would solve the issue
10% Very annoyed at me for reviving an old thread :)
So, the thing to do, if you think Sun can still be swayed in its decision
on this, is to petition Sun direct. I was given the following email as
the person to flood:
Or hassle your sales rep to the max, 'cause this seems all hip pocket
oriented (no matter what Sun mutter along the lines of "Not having a
compiler makes us *more* Open Systems because we are not locking the
customer in to a single product").
Also, this whole thread is against Item 6 in the "Summary of Charter and
Rules" of the group, so consider it a spurious signal from a dying
/dev/null...
