Sun's Trading Symbol Going From SUNW To JAVA

Mortimer.CA writes "Straight from Jonathan Schwartz's weblog, Sun is changing their ticker symbol from SUNW to JAVA: 'JAVA is a technology whose value is near infinite to the internet, and a brand that's inseparably a part of Sun (and our profitability). [...] To be very clear, this isn't about changing the company name or focus — we are Sun, we are a systems company, and we will always be a derivative of the students that created us, Stanford University Network is here to stay. But we are no longer simply a workstation company, nor a company whose products can be limited by one category — and Java does a better job of capturing exactly that sentiment than any other four letter symbol.'"

OK, but aren't more younger programmers drinking diet coke and not Java these days?

For me, Microsoft's abreviation name could be, "Broken wt", and its ticker symbol could be, "MS_WTF"?

I just upgraded my working system with Ubuntu Gusty Alpha 3. My configuration is a 500G SATA HD, twin DVD/CD writes, ATI card, and 2 NV cards. $600 in 19" LCD's, and $100 in monitar cards. Try that on Vista, at that price.
