Jonathan Schwartz Men Quotations

As volume economics take hold, the days of proprietary hardware and software are coming to an end -- yielding cost savings and efficiencies for customers that can dispense with one-off solutions, and revenue opportunities for Sun's open standard products. Our open-sourced offerings, including the Solaris Enterprise System, and our industry standard Sun Fire systems and storage offerings are the ideal platforms on which a diversity of OEM partners -- from defense systems to networking equipment -- can now build their products. Our aim is to be the preferred partner for the open source and open standard platforms the market clearly demands.

I am incredibly excited by what the future holds for Sun and the opportunity to continue working with Scott, and the rest of the management team, to help Sun attain its financial and operational goals.

Until today, the thought was that a move to an industry-standard platform meant a move toward hot, inefficient servers, with weak management and a hodgepodge of system components. We're here to call an end to that era. The move away from proprietary systems now holds the promise of increasing performance, decreasing power bills and consolidating data center creep - and Sun's legendary innovation puts us at the forefront of driving and claiming that opportunity.

We are surprised because previous research indicated that wives of men who worked every hour in the day complained about the quality of their relationship. But as far as I can see no one asked them about their sex lives, and those are surprisingly healthy.
