- lani 16y ago1) enterprise servers 2) Java which drives enterprise computing which runs on any platform. Didn't these two things work against each other for Sun ?
- badmash69 16y agoNot really. Remember Sun's stock during the dotcom boom. Sun failed because of poor execution. They blew the cloud computing opportunity. Their sales people did not chase orders like the HP guys did (this is for a personal experience ). Their Java application server sucked when compared to Websphere and Weblogic. They could not deliver a good story with MySQL acquisition. They let Linux get ahead of Solaris , at least in mind share.
- gaius 16y agoExactly. I'm old enough to remember when Sun's stock ticker wasn't JAVA it was SUNW... W for workstation.
