Tucci: Look at what Scott [McNealy of Sun] is doing. He's keeping up with Intel Corp. [Nasdaq: INTC] on chips, he's got Microsoft Corp. [Nasdaq: MSFT] and BEA Systems Inc. [Nasdaq: BEAS], he's got Java, Linux, Unix, and Solaris. With all that, how's he going to provide better storage software than I am, when I have a bigger market cap and more cash? And look at HP.

They've got something they can pull off, and some customers will like it. They have their outsourcing business and sometimes we will work with them.
