Sun Microsystems Inc. threw down the price gauntlet to Microsoft Corp. customers on Wednesday, offering to cut by half the cost of any Microsoft Software Assurance licensing agreement for the desktop. "Whatever license Microsoft has presented to a customer, we believe we will be able to offer half off with our equivalent desktop solution in software. "So, any customer in the middle of negotiating a Software Assurance contract should feel free to contact me and I will be happy to put them in touch with our sales team, who will deliver a competitive bid that is 50 percent of whatever Microsoft offers," Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's executive vice president of software, told eWEEK in an interview Wednesday.
