What are you, some sort of freaking communist? Honesty and integrity are fundamental for capatalistic success! A company will not maintain a customer base if it is not fundamentally honest. Is Sun's little benchmark fiasco going to go unnoticed or unconsidered by their customers? If you develop a good solid product, it is unnecessary to decieve customers into buying it. There was a time that a company could get away with deception and dishonesty (kind of like the current President.) but with the information that is available on just about anything, it is very difficult for one to get away with it today. If you want to see the biggest example of lack of honesty and ethics, go back to the Soviet Union where you belong! Oh, sorry it's not there anymore.
