   Having read a lot of these things from ex-Sun employees, I dearly want to read one with the topic my department is the one that fucked up Sun. I don't think I have seen a topic like that yet.

      I seriously don't know what Sun could have done to survive - once Linux was stable, running Linux on commodity hardware was just a better solution than anything Sun could offer.

         Exactly, I used desktop Sun machines and administered many very large Sun machines from 1997 through to 2010.

         I saw the end coming for Sun when I had a dx2/66 at home running Linux in the late 90s. It was brilliant.
