The community is vastly more innovative and powerful than a single company.

I’ve followed Jonathan Schwartz’s blog for a while and more than often he has interesting things to write. Sun has long been one of the major forces in the computing industry and it’s gradual decline in mindshare and presence after 2000 was saddening, even though it was justified. After years of confusion within the company about its strategy and the role of Open Source, it seems that it’s starting to ‘get it’. An interesting ‘apology’ by Schwartz, Sun’s CEO, coupled with the usual marketing-babble. I hope he means it.
