While I personally liked him, I couldn't figure out their strategy, leading me to believe that they didn't really know what they were doing.
You used to be able to buy low-end SPARC systems for $995 (v100, Blade 100) now the cheapest system is much more than that - the same pricing strategy that ruined SGI: as their market share declined they retreated to higher end customers, which led to more market share declines.
