interesting, I was thinking that Sun has become the new CA... to me they are the company that makes less and less sense and seems to have "random potpourri" as a business model. What are your thoughts on them?
I don't see many Sun / CA parallels but I see plenty of Oracle ones (see the hyperlink in the post, not sure how to put them in comments).
As for Sun I've also blogged on them several times over the years. My general impression is similar to yours: lost, grasping at straws, lacking a clear positioning.
