Where do you think will be the next big corporate technology investment?
Social applications will drive more infrastructure development in the next year or two years than the entirety of the ERP [enterprise resource planning] demands in the 1990s. Let me give you an example of that: We run Sun's ERP system on a 30 percent utilized E-10K, which is a 5- or 6-year-old computer which I can replace right now with a Niagara box.
Compare that with the infrastructure for our developer community, which costs millions and millions of dollars. So even within Sun we see that shift. Social infrastructure is going to drive the corporation. You will spend more of your time interacting with your customers online in the next year than you ever have.
What was the analyst expectation, and what was the reality as Sun went about open-sourcing all of its software?
The expectation was that after all software was free and open source our revenue would go down. Our revenue didn't go down, but adoption in the pipeline went up.

Fxm: The great Gasby book
This finally made sense last night which I have come to realize what Gasby wanted to get Daisy back which when he was younger he had ambition and saw himself as this rich guy. He knew he would be rich but didn’t know how. He meets this ray guy who helps him to establish himself and Gasby finally has the money to buy or have what ever he wants. Daisy becomes another item to add to his house. This will complete his collection.
They say he threw parties to daisy can attend one day….The main idea is that he had a dream of getting daisy back.
He knew she lived on east egg which he saw the house she lived in.
But did she really love him? She loved other guys after Gasby that is my question. I think she saw the wealth and she wanted in on it to. But, this was the only way gasby could win her back…
I have I done this with my life.. Yes, I wanted lily back, but I went to school to improve myself and I have and I have become a better person but sometimes I have that need to return or get back a time… I have realized that todays cold reality is great to know. I live in the present and I can’t change the past.. Yes, I pretty much understand Adam now. When, he said we live right now and here but he was trying to tell lily this.. I think there are issues on her side of fence… Yes, she doesn’t want to say, but I have come to realize and accepted them… I was like finally, I get it.. Yes, I am at that place of security today… I don’t know why I have drove myself so nuts the past couple of days…I finally understand…. That has been the goal all along… yes, I finally understand..
She is married and that is all…
But, the character in the book tom and daisy where careless they never took into consideration anything because they were above everything with money…so, I now understand this is really great.
Fxm: Reg Lily now
I have come to realize that she is a friend and I will never be able to capture the past but knowing her today is always what I wanted.. It’s great to come to terms and understanding what I wanted. This past year and today have been great growth for me. Yes, because now I know she is good. I will leave her alone which I have no need..
I am just happy to be her friend in what ever she might need. I will fail and sometimes I will come through, but at least I know she is alive and well..
Yes, that is all, I ever wanted..
I am a great secure place today and I have learned the most important lesson that she is only human like everyone else….Yes, that was the main idea and goal..
I feel great today, because I have grown spiritually and mentally , I have stepped over to the other side which I always wondered what would it be like if I take the risk. I have taken the risk and now I know… It’s great…
Now, lets get back to work.. We have a lot of things to catch up on and we have been asleep for about one year…Lets get out of retirement now..
