Talkback
With a deep wellspring of both user and developer loyalty, some great hardware and software, how could Sun, whose share price was well north of $200 in 2000, end up being bought for the equivalent of a song?
There are data centres crammed with Sun gear, as many customers won't touch anything else. And the people I've met who work with and at Sun have been among the sharpest I've encountered. And yet the whole thing went sour.
What's so sad about Sun's demise is that the writing has been on the wall for years. Greed and hubris at the top account for a lot of it - check out the final accounts for how much the top execs were paying themselves; their greed almost scuppered the deal too. That, and an inability to listen to those outside the castle walls.
Microsoft has been making similar errors but attracts the attention of the regulators and legislators, which concentrates the minds of those at the top.
Sun had no such warning.
The company had a huge wad of cash in the bank and a revenue that saw it dwindling by the year but, hey, there were always new territories to conquer, new toys to buy, great technology to build.
And now we're left with the pieces, many of which compete with new owner Oracle's core business. What are the odds of much of it surviving?
