Sun Microsystems, a CEO's Last Stand?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ups-and-downs dept.

pillageplunder writes "Businessweek's cover article is a sharp look at Sun Microsystems. The gist of the article? That its fall can be laid at the Feet of its CEO, Scott McNealy. Overall, a balanced read, one that does a good recap of the the high and the very low low's that Sun has reached under McNealy."

    can I just email my resume to HR@sun.com? or should I walk in and say I want the job?

    and the very low low's that Sun has reached under McNealy.

    I certainly wouldn't want to reach under McNealy, especially near his low lows.

    "The Internet is still wildly underhyped, underutilized, and underimplemented

    How do you wildly underhype something? (Or even wildly underutilize or underimplement.) Does it involve caffeinated valium?

    ...does this mean that when Sun actually dies, it will turn into a black hole and suck all the other silicon valley companies down? It sure is massive enough :)

    I too have some first hand experience comparing M$ and Sun.

    Whenever a M$ sales team comes-a-knocking, its always 3 or 4 pushy guys.

    Whenever Sun calls, its a smoking hot sales chick (to weaken your resolve) and a grandfatherly guy who actually knows his shit (to instill confidence).
