Why don't the millions of stakeholders in Java just form an organization and
buy Sun?

How would this work? Is the best way to just buy Sun stock? But that leaves
Wall Streeters Southern Asset Management on their board and Kohlberg Kravis
Robertson their board. That's not going to work.

There are literally tens of millions of people, in the US in the EU and in
India  who want Sun to just keep doing what they're doing they way they're
doing it and believe that things will get better. To the majority, it's
worth US 1k to keep Sun alive, so what's the real problem with starting an
something here and accumulating capital to buy Sun then leave it in the
hands of the current crowd? Is it just the logistics of it all? Something
like that can't be put together that fast? Is that really true?
