As executive vice president of Sun's software group, Jonathan Schwartz heads the company's new unified software business and is leading the charge to promote the Linux open-source technology. Schwartz met with InfoWorld Test Center Director Steve Gillmor and Technical Director Tom Yager to discuss Sun's recently announced Linux desktop strategy and to explain how it's in the industry's best interests to develop an alternative to arch-rival Microsoft. | ||

Plus, why would you have to reverse engineer something that (unlike Java) is an open standard with specification documents freely available?
Maybe if Sun embraced MS and IBM standards instead of lying about their capabilities, they would be in better shape as a company. Anyone that thinks Sun is telling the truth should check out ActiveWin's forums. This post was edited by n4cer on Saturday, September 28, 2002 at 00:40. |

First let me say that I'm not a fan of Sun Microsystem ...specially their UNIX workstations ...to darn heavy to lift. =)
I do have to give Sun some credit on this, no matter how ugly the article was; at least they are competing with Microsoft in the business rather than in court. ...well until MS stump their desktop plans. |

I would use the word "competing" with reservation in this case.
It's more like Sun will do *anything* it can to hurt Microsoft, including destroy their own business by embracing the OS that has cut into Sun's sales more than any other: Linux. |
