Sun Microsystems Inc. and Microsoft Corp. next month plan to provide more details on work they are doing to make their products interoperable, a Sun executive said Monday. The announcement will focus on their work regarding interoperability in the Web services and directory services area, said Mark McClain, vice president of software marketing at Sun, during a meeting with press and analysts at Sun's offices in Burlington, Massachusetts. An October announcement means a slight delay for details on the interoperability work. Sun Chief Executive Officer Scott McNealy said in late June at the company's JavaOne conference that Sun and Microsoft would detail their initial collaborative work during the U.S. summer, which ends in September.
