Is Java to Blame for Sun Layoffs?
- pg 18y agoYes. Not so much particular qualities of Java, but that for several critical years in the 90s they focused on Java as if it was going to save them (to the point of changing their stock symbol) and ignored glaring fundamental flaws in their business model.
- gaius 18y agoWell they can't call themselves SUNW anymore as right now they only sell one Sun Workstation, the Ultra 24, and despite the name it isn't even SPARC.
- gaius 18y agoAfter the recent high-profile scandals Sun ought to be flogging SunRays to the UK govt. like hotcakes. That alone could save them, and I'll take Sun over EDS any day of the week for my taxes thankyou very much.
