The KattPhone's new ring tone, "Here Comes the Sun," brought a call from a crony asking the Kitty if he thought Sun's restructuring plans were an indication that the company is prepping for an eventual sale, as some Sun watchers have speculated. kattphone�̐V�@�\�̒��M���A "�ق瑾�z������A "����Β��Ԃ���̓d�b��v�����Ă���ꍇ�L�e�B�Ɣނ͎v���܂��������z�̃��X�g���v����������Ă��̉�Ђ͍ŏI�I�ɂ͔̔��ɔ����āA�������̑��z�̃E�H�b�`���[�͐������܂��B The crony was referring to CEO Jonathan Schwartz's announcement that the company will lay off about 5,000 employees and sell some of its West Coast offices.���̂��Q�Ƃ���͎̂В���Jonathan Schwartz�̔��\�ł́A��Ђ̏]�ƈ��͖�5000�����ꎞ���ق���Ƃ������̐��C�݂�X�ł��B The rumor mill sees Schwartz streamlining the company to sell off Sun's hardware biz and concentrate on software.�V�������c�~���͂��̂��킳��ے肵�A��Ђ̍������p����Ƒ��z�̃n�[�h�E�F�A�̃r�W�l�X�ɐ�O����\�t�g�E�F�A�ł��B "I think he's just making the hard-line business decisions everyone suspected former CEO Scott McNealy didn't have the heart to make," said the Furry One, adding, "Sun's doing good things; they just need to make nice with the shareholders."

This is indeed very nonsense.����͊m���ɔ��Ƀi���Z���X���B Sun has always said that its software business (Java) which doesn�ft make any direct profit for Sun, helps it sell its hardware products, that make profit for Sun.���z�͏�ɂɂ��ƁA���Ђ̃\�t�g�E�F�A���Ɓi�W�����j�ɂ͒��ڂ̗��v�́A���z�͏d�v�ł͂���܂���A���̃n�[�h�E�F�A���i�邱�Ƃɂ��A���̗��v�̂��߂ɑ��z�̂ł��B
