Sun's Big Open-Source Bet
,----[ Snippet ]
| Jonathan Schwartz could upend the company's business model to one
| that's dependent on software. But he has some big changes to make
| first
|
| An astonishing thing has happened at Sun Microsystems. A company built
| on high margins from hardware sales is now turning upside down and
| going soft. The face of this transformation is the freshly minted CEO
| and former McKinsey consultant Jonathan Schwartz. Originally a numbers
| guy turned software evangelist, Schwartz is almost certainly committing
| Sun (SUNW) to a future with a business model centered on software --
| open source software.
