In an interview this week with CNET News.com, Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy lets loose about quirks in accounting guidelines that he says don't jibe with the company's cash-flow reality. How did Sun get its $7.5 billion in cash? Says McNealy: "We didn't cheat. We didn't steal that money. People actually felt very good about paying for the invoices we gave them."
McNealy didn't just crunch numbers--he also talked tech, weighing in on Solaris and Java, the Niagara and Rock processors, and Sun's "wonderful" but underappreciated storage environment. Get the details in the full interview.
