Sun is a Brand, Oracle is Our Company.



Sun is a Brand, Oracle is Our Company.

The Sun CEO Jon Schwartz dropped a note to the employees of Sun Microsystems. The full text can be found in this article, but this quotation is perhaps the core message:
There is no doubt in my mind you, and Oracle, will be remarkably successful, beyond the market’s wildest expectations. But it’s important you come to work thinking, “Sun is a brand, Oracle’s my company.” Don’t look for ways to preserve or dwell in “how we used to do things.” Look for ways to help customers, grow the market, and improve Oracle’s performance.

Sun is a brand, Oracle is your company.

Of course, for customers, Open Source developers, Open Standards collaborators, and Open Systems endorsers - the message is somewhat different... the message is what I titled this published blog article:

Sun is a Brand, Oracle is Our Company.
