| "The open source development model is radically changing the way software
| is built, creating a market with an almost unlimited availability of
| modules and programs enabling rapid and low cost development of new
| software. At the same time open source has driven an unprecedented
| transfer of technology to our country: OpenSolaris alone amounts to over
| $500 million in investments and over 1,600 patents. The creation, unique
| to our country, of a Center of Excellence for such an advanced operating
| system, is a great opportunity to relaunch the software industry in
| Italy," said Franco Roman, director of Marketing and Partner Sales,
| Sun Microsystems Italy.
