Sun readies open source desktop (ZDNet)

[Posted August 15, 2002 by cook]

ZDNet covers Sun CEO Scott McNealy's LinuxWorld keynote. "Sun cites the fact that Linux has been growing faster on the desktop than in the server market as a primary reason that Sun plans to focus attention on the client side. The new focus also fits neatly into McNealy's goal to do whatever he can to stymie the Microsoft Windows machine, which, in typical McNealy-speak, he called a "welded-shut hairball.""

Welded shut, huh?

Interesting, indeed, to see that Nealy is adopting Bob Young's favorite metaphor...
