For Sun , Microsoft Settlement Is No Joke







For Sun , Microsoft Settlement Is No
Joke

For Sun , Microsoft Settlement Is No
Joke
04/19/2004 11:03 AM

We may miss Scott McNealy's jabs at Microsoft, but the money from the recent settlement will inject new life into Sun, which badly needs a transfusion. Many of us are just now coming to grips with the most serious implication of the April 2 settlement between Sun and Microsoft: Scott McNealy's keynote speeches just got a lot duller. The Sun CEO has made a career of his stand-up routine over the years, entertaining thousands with such classic zingers as calling Windows the "giant hairball"; Active Directory, "Captive Directory"; and .Net, "Dot Not" or "Not Yet." And, in case of computer crashes, "Call 1-800-CTL-ALT-DEL."
