Sun was borderline struggling for as long as I can remember, and to date survived anyways.

Once there were even tougher times for them and it was then when they developed Solaris 10 and the Niagara processor. Shareholders were pissed nevertheless and McNealy had to leave.

On top of that I hear Sun has some $2bn just in a bank right now. Back then they had two times that, but were two times bigger too (ca. 20000 employees).
