In what has to be one of the worst-disguised, highly-telegraphed moves in recent IT industry history, Sun announced today that they will be selling Linux-based PCs.
These PCs will likely be beefier versions of their Sun Ray thin clients, although, who knows? Maybe they’ll sell a model intended to replace their low end Sun Blade SparcII workstations.
I still don’t know why Sun and Apple haven’t joined forces. “Macs on the desktop, Suns in the server room” makes so much sense, it’s almost ridiculous. Perhaps McNealy and Jobs don’t see eye-to-eye…
