[...] Sun’s Schwartz and his Failsafe moment For starters, Schwartz has to do what few have done with the cloud computing discussion: answer the hard questions around security, compliance, and identity management with a disruptive view that speaks to Sun’s strengths. Sun has dogs in these hunts, and credibility with communities, particularly the beleaguered financial service which threaten Sun’s survival as they collapse and merge.

The board of directors should be ashamed of the fact that they have not
held management accountable for the last 8+ years. I thought the board of directors was supposed to do what is best for us shareholders.

@Bala Arrogance, indeed. Everytime I talk to a Sun employee, they keep saying their are a head of the curve. J2ME was ahead of the curve, Sun screw it up. Now, Android is a head of the curve. MySQL was ahead of the curve, Sun is going to screw it up.

Lately I heard from employee how top management keep telling their employees how they want to keep the family and no layoff. Please don’t waste the $2B cash. Give it back to the shareholders.

With J2ME and what is happening in Java, Sun could be in the driving seat of mobile Java. Rather Android is not the Java OS for mobile. MySQL was huge and have a lot of room to growth. Now, MySQL people are not happy. Oracle and Microsoft benefited here. With Solaris Zone, Sun could have taken the lead on cloud virtualization.

I predict, Sun will get around to acquire a cloud company in two years when we are at the tail-end of cloud computer (see similarity here??), and their will screw it up, when the industry is going into something else.

Please give the $2B back to the shareholders.

if one-fifth the enterprise systems I’ve used – and developed – had the “reliability and latency of the internet,” I’d thank my stars. As it is, I’ve had more issues accessing less-redundant resources on a LAN or Metro Area Network than I have on “the Internet.”

A single point of failure database server (even clustered) or impinged local pipe are things with which I’ve had direct experience on multiple occasions. Amazon or Google misbehaving sporadically has happened with far less frequency.

The massive-redundancy seems only to be improving with time.

Dell crushed Sun? Are you nuts? The only thing Michael Dell crushed were his shareholders.

IBM rules the roost, we’re the only company safe enough to buy from in these turbulent times. Us and Microsoft.

I agree, Sun is not an open source company, and they don’t have to be an open source company. I do not agree, open source must support eclipse and jboss.

Sun has great product like Solaris, I hope they will find their way, and they should.

Gimme a break. Michael Dell crushed SUN and is still crushing SUN. The blowhard SUN has nowhere to go but down. They are not deserving people. They are self-important puds.

The only reason SUN still exists is because the government in the US and Japan bought so much of their shit. Otherwise it would have been gameover a long time ago. Am I the only one who noticed that Schwartz doesn’t run SUN Federal? Gee. I wonder why. Maybe because the US Government employees would probably grab him by his ponytail and whirl him around the room for amusement.

Sun is fucking toast. Asian manufacturers are rolling over Sun like a ten ton bulldozer. Java is way past it’s prime. Sun will be bought by HP within 18 months.
