Sun is a bit like old CalderaSun is a bit like old CalderaPosted Oct 7, 2004 20:18 UTC (Thu) by error27 (subscriber, #8346)Parent article: McNealy: Microsoft needs Sun to beat IBM and Red Hat (Register)
No one really liked old Caldera even though they contributed a ton to open source. Sun contributes a lot too but if they try an anti-redhat drive no one will really like them.
Sun really needs a new, cooler CEO like Steve Jobs.

Sun is a bit like old Caldera Posted Oct 7, 2004 20:48 UTC (Thu) by allesfresser (subscriber, #216) [Link] Mr. Jobs is not exactly a friend of free software, despite Mac OS X's dependence on BSD.
Sun is a bit like old Caldera Posted Oct 7, 2004 23:22 UTC (Thu) by dkite (guest, #4577) [Link] McNealy is in fact a good friend to free software.You see, the Koffice, Abiword, Gnumeric folks got together with McNealy and asked for help. After a long discussion a diabolically effective strategy was developed. McNealy would publicly and often bad-mouth free software projects. He wouldn't miss an occasion to highlight his close and wonderful relationship with Microsoft. His engineers would criticize free software projects. This would make developers and users who depend on OpenOffice very nervous, and support the various free applications. It seems to be working so far. Just half joking of course. Derek
