Another well intentioned, but unproven, idea from Sun. We've been down this road before. From putting its tools and hardware on eBay, supposedly to find their ?real? value, to selling PCs loaded with the Java Desktop System on walmart.com because Wal-Mart's size and influence could help JDS reach a ?volume market.? Ideas that faded. Blackbox has its market niches, sure, but it?s not going to do half as much for Sun as those Opteron servers it also launched, and that Blackbox was clearly designed to help promote!
