HP and Sun in Solaris bear hug

Oh, give Matt a break...

... it's fairly obvious that he's suffering from a strong case cognitive dissonance. Allow him soak in it a bit.

Royal Navy to be first running-jump-jet force

Russians were the first...

...to have an all-STOVL naval air fleet with their Kiev-class carriers and Yak-38 aircraft starting in the late 70's. This isn't to say that the Yak-38 had a successful service career, though.

Sun trumpets radically simple open storage boxes

Re: "radically simple"?

You're making an assumption here - the hardware is but one aspect of Amber Road. The other is the software which sits on top of OpenSolaris and provides a web GUI and CLI for management of all aspects, effectively turning these x86 boxes into NASes.

A person running this stuff would have to know Solaris as much as a person who runs NetApps needs to know BSD.
