Tim does a good job at highlighting some key tech held by Sun. But there is no clear thesis that even if there is significant adoption of these technologies that Sun makes money.

I do hope some of these technologies keep moving forward. I do not see a great way for Sun to profit from them.

One of Solaris rock-solid advantage over Linux was the guaranteed stable ABI. Except Sun shot themselves in the foot by introducing Java which made it irrelevant...

Someone was going to make it irrelevant. And .NET doesn't run on Solaris.
