There is a feeling that Sun's demise also means the failure of Open source model. But this isn't correct. Sun failed due to the problems it inherited.

"Its tough to make money in any business these days, let alone a profitable s/w business. There are small number of companies that have built successful open source business. But REDHAT proves that it is possible to build a successful open source business".
