While I'm sure they had their use case, the Sun desktops we had while at university in the early 2000s always felt sluggish.

The servers didn't seem much better. They'd handle a ton of users, but each would get the same slow experience.

Their really competitive era was over by the early 2000’s, right? More of a 90’s company.

And they were already feeling sluggish by the second half of the 90s. That might be because I had an SGI on my desktop, though.
