Comments on: Sun and Google shake hands

Multiyear partnership will develop and distribute Google Toolbar, Java, OpenOffice and OpenSolaris--and Google will buy lots more Sun servers.

Does anyone care about Sun?

Just checking......

I do

But I'm a technical architect by trade & I'm interested in all technology.

Why only yesterday, I told someone that using .NET for their web services was a good idea (I had to wash my mouth out afterwards though).

Sun's crappy JVM, now Adware

Not satisfied with making their JVM one of the most bloated, inefficient steaming pile of code in the past decade, they decded to make it Adware as well.

Sun, hoohum...

What exactly is Sun? Hardware? Software? Freeware? Part of Google? The guys running that boat should examine Dell, or maybe sell the shop to Dell.

Hardware is a low margin market, and you cannot make money by giving away software.

Glad I sold my shares back in 99.

Just what I wanted....

"Within 30 days, the Google toolbar will become a standard part of the software people get when they download Java from Sun's Web site."

Great - let's tack on some worthless software to something useful. Google's hitchiker better be an option when installing the Java Runtime Environment. If I can't uninstall it, I won't be using JRE anymore.

Sun and Google taking on MSFT

Sun and Google taking on MSFT... Why does it remind me of the nineties when MSFT took on Netscape and Sun?
