Sun Microsystems...time to sell?

With the announcement of the leaving of Andy Bechtolsheim, you have to wonder about the report from Sun that this is just a part time departure for Mr. Bechtolsheim. Sun Microsystems has had a horrific year in 2008 with share dropping over 70%.

So is it really just a part time thing, or is Sun just grasping at straws as they slowly fade into the sunset? Sun had previously warned Wall Street to expect a loss in their 3rd quarter. So what do you think? Is Bechtolsheim just "helping out" Arista Networks for now, or is this his way of slowly pullling away from a company that has been struggling for near 10 years with financial problems?

Cast your vote in our poll down on the lower right hand side and let your opinion be tallied.
