The Comedy of Scott McNealy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-laugh-at dept.

Rob writes "News that Sun co-founder and long-serving CEO, Scott McNealy is stepping aside, heaps a load of pressure on incoming CEO Jonathan Schwartz - he will have to get working on his anti-Microsoft gags quick-sharp. Aside from Sun's strategy and his execution of it, McNealy's tenure as CEO will be remembered for his constant Microsoft sniping. CBR remembers some of his favourite quotes."

    I disagree - I think Windows XP is better. Now granted, they've put all this genuine advantage crap all over it, even on the corporate version, but it really does have more features and many of the old features are improved, if no other way than by the revamping of the configuration GUI. Meanwhile, it is possible to slim XP down to the point where it's really not using more resources than 2k - but I don't even want to. I upgraded 2k to XP on my laptop so I could get cleartype, which is definitely a feature that consumes resources and slows down your machine - but it's worth it to me. I have, however, disabled the theme service, and several others... And XP is more stable than 2k, no joke.
