- Is Sun losing touch with its customers? Is sun losing touch with its
- self?
-
- When will SunPC, OnLine DiskSuite, SunLink, etc. be available for
- sunos5? Doesn't this vendor know that the move to SV has been
- trumpeted and heralded for many years now? Haven't they been using
- the powerful porting tools and compatability packages? The current
- install scripts won't work if you put /usr/5bin at the front of your
- path. Why don't the applications work under both? Don't they know
- about hiding the implementation behind a portable interoperable
- interface? How long will I have to run sunos4 and sunos5
- simultaneously? When will I get tools that let me administer a
- heterogenous network? Are the emperors new clothes really the mantle
- of progress? Does anyone have any answers?
