Story: Ballmer and Gates are quitters, says Sun boss

•

FROM: A wise old man.
I used to work for Sun and always thought McNealy a big mouth, talking about 'slapping competitors in the chops' and the like. He is also a 'quitter, a 'product' quitter. Ask Scott about the demise of the following, each touted as ‘strategic’ in their day:
 JOE
 NEO
 Enterprise Manager
 Domain Manager
 Site Manager
 Job Scheduler
 Java Management API (JMAPI)
 Javastations 1 and 2
 A7000 disk subsystem after the Encore acquisition
 Scott McNealy’s ‘auction’ plans
 MAJC
 The Genesys architecture, touted 1998 on and never delivered.
 Sun is a product company and anyone who relies on services, like Unisys, ICL and so on, is a 'goner'. (Scott c. 1999). What is the only part of Sun revenue that is increasing?
