Don't forget this huge mistake: making Jonathan Schwartz president. This idiot's mission seems to be making Sun's contributions to free software look bad.

It is true that Sun started its life as a big defender of free software, since they depended on it; even today, they contribute more than almost any other company; their business model is mostly compatible with free software, since they make 99% (or whatever, but a lot) of their revenue from hardware. How can they achieve being seen in a bad light by the free software community with just a few comments every month? Truly amazing.
