The building that I work in has three floors and the third floor, where I work, has the men's bathroom on the right and women's on the left. Go down one floor and they are reversed. I have had a few interesting encounters especially at the end of a 12+ hour shift. I can understand not having a universal standard for which side is which (although I would support one) but jeez, at least have them the same within the same company and building.

How is this any different then what Google is doing (aside from being the "benevolent and all holy" Goggle versus the "almost as evil as Microsoft" Sun)? The client should never matter when running the application and if you look here http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=433240 e1 you can get the client application for just about anything including dumb terminals and handheld devices.

And stating that Sun is trying to put all applications on Sun systems is a bunch of crap. The design of the product is to have a gateway to all vendors applications. So you continue to run your existing applications and connect to them from the gateway, and no it doesn't have to be Solaris http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=43321d b9
