Can software pull Sun out of its funk? (News.com) [LWN.net]

News.com interviews Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's executive vice president of software. "StarOffice is available free from OpenOffice or at a nominal price if you want to deploy that in an enterprise. Are we going to [be] building that? Yes. Do we believe there's a healthy market opportunity to deliver a Linux client and do call centers, payment processing centers, reservation systems and factory floor plants? Absolutely. You've already seen us tip our hand. We've delivered the office suite that's necessary. The Gnome community has delivered the user environment. All we need is a browser to make sure we round out the trio."
