Comments on: Sun's missing mojo: MIA until when?

The CEO keeps painting a sunny picture. Then come more losses, layoffs, and letdowns.

Could SUN/Java please do the Computer Industry a huge favor and just put themselves up for sale?

Just like a stolen car in a "chop-shop", their parts are worth more that the car itself.

Spare us from the continued Delusional Thinking by their CEO that they really matter to anyone anymore?

BTW, the launched a "new" mid-range storage array(oem'd from LSI). Yawn.

Thank You.

Sun has a future as an Open Source implementation of Apple's "hardware + software = better user experience" strategy, but its days of competing with IBM and HP are pretty much over.

I just looked at Sun's numbers... they grew x86 servers 11% in Q4. They BLEW AWAY IBM (who *shrank* 30%!!!). And it looks like their software business blew the doors off, too. Schwartz's biggest problem isn't generating growth, it's staving off the erosion from collapsing customers. I don't know anyone doing that well in corporate IT - consumer IT is a different story, but that's not Sun's playing field.

If you were Schwartz, what would you do that created value for shareholders?

You asked : "So at what point do we declare his vision a pipe dream and just move on?"

The official answer is April 20, 2009. Effective immediately, the Participation Age - along with Sun's "mojo" - is declared MIA.
