Excellent news!

Wow, that's the best news I saw today. Sun is becoming an "everything-as-a-service" company, and the sales has had a culture shock getting used to this. For example, recent applicants for free Sun T2000 server trials were thwarted by Sun sales staff (according to http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/jonathan comments).

This change in focus, coupled with the recent rehiring of cost-cutting CFO Mike Lehman points Sun in a great direction. Fundamental to the recent improvements at Sun has been Jon Schwartz who really has his finger on the IT pulse (power/space costs, subscription pricing, storage, grid computing, etc).

The T2000 Try-n-Buy program has been updated in the past 2 weeks so that no sales intervention is necessary. The unit is shipped directly to you, without any activity needed from your sales rep.

Check out http://www.sun.com/emrkt/trycoolthreads/index.html. The shipping is even free (-;
