On your second point, how do you explain why a bunch of the big names stayed put when Sun was like that, but bailed shortly after the takeover?
Just a couple years ago Sun was just short of Google in terms of the big names that they had. (Google, of course, got all the Bell Labs folk.) Were all of these people looking through the Schwartz goggles?
- TallGuyShort 16y agoI don't know a lot about all of the big names you're talking about, but I see a very similar "culture" in people like James Gosling. Don't get me wrong - I have a lot of respect for the guy, he's a million times smarter than me, but I can definitely see why he wouldn't have felt comfortable with Oracle's culture. You see a similar thing happen in any big change - the people at the top defined the culture, and if there's a change in culture, those people go one way or another.
