ongoing · What Sun Should Do

Will it operate at the level of virtual hardware, like Amazon’s AWS, or at Platform as a Service, like Google App engine (and, de facto, much of the PHP community)?
Will buyers accept a certain amount of lock-in, or will they insist on zero barriers to exit?
Will those who deploy enterprise applications be willing to let their data offsite and into the cloud? If so, what kinds of privacy guarantees will they require?
Will those who deploy enterprise applications want to build internal cloud-flavored infrastructure?"
