Sun Opens Up Enterprise Software

abscondment writes "Stating that "open source is the future" of the software industry, Sun's President and COO Jonathan Schwartz announced that Sun will be opening its enterprise software in a manner similar to Solaris 10. Sun is opening up the Java Enterprise System, Sun N1 Management software, and Sun developer tools, etc. - practically everything except Java - hoping to lure more developers and chief executive officers worldwide to use and deploy its enterprise software."

I Remember The Day

[MightyMartian]

Ah I remember the day so well, that day when Sun opened up its Enterprise Software. The sun was a little brighter, the car radio a little more in tune. I eagerly sent off my request for the source, barely able to restrain myself as I thought of personally witnessing the glory of that code.

The package came, lovely yellow with the bubbly inside. "A CD-ROM!" I said aloud. "No better, I bet it's a DVD-ROM". I opened it up, popping layers of bubbles to find... a double-sided double-density 3 1/2 floppy. Confusion filled my mind as I pulled out my old 400mhz Pentium notebook.

I ran the included program, ENTSRC.EXE and up popped a window:

"Are you ready?"

"Yes!" I cried, hitting the Y key with orgasmic fervor.

"Are you truly ready for this?"

"Ohhhhh yessssss!" I moaned, banging the key again.

"Please read this EULA. Do you agree never to do anything nasty to Sun, never call it names, or mock Larry Ellison? Do you vow to besmirch .Net and Mono? Will you feed your cat only high-protein foods, and make love to your wife three times a week?"

"Anything!" I shouted, clicking Y one last time. And up it popped.
