Alan, Good links, but if you were going to emphasize that Oracle gave some code to the community, Microsoft gave the double. Even worst Oracle has "Unbreakable Linux (sic)", which is no more than a glorified clon of Red Hat (love Red Hat by the way). So in short, they gave up a little, steal a lot

Was that before things like ZFS etc? That happened to Sun because they were "donating" everything away, including the source. Open source might increase community involvement, but won't keep the boat afloat. Finding the right price isn't my job, but all I can say is, I am not gong to pay $800-$10
