I graduated college around that time. Microsoft held an event on campus that took two hours, explaining how great it is to work at Microsoft. A month later Sun came to campus and spent two hours telling us how awful Microsoft is and we shouldn't have anything to do with them. What they didn't do was tell us why we should want to work for Sun. On a larger scale, Sun did seem to lose focus and concentrate too much on getting Microsoft back for making a faster and more stable JVM. What they didn't do was come up with improvements that users wanted. At least not at the rate they should have.
