Jonathan Schwartz Opportunity Quotations

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.

OpenOffice.org is on a path toward being the most popular office suite the world has ever seen; providing users with safety, choice, and an opportunity to participate in one of the broadest community efforts the Internet has ever seen,

Stay tuned on the Red Hat-Sun relationship. We think there's ample opportunity to work together out there.

We view the opportunity as planetary in scope. Businesses are going to be investing in what we've got.

Proprietary technology relegates you either to a niche or to the ditch. We're growing our market opportunity by steadfastly open sourcing the entirety of our software portfolio--from the Solaris OS to Java developer tools--and now we're taking the next step by open sourcing the world's most innovative microprocessor under the GPL. Giving our customers more choice and driving community innovation expands our economic opportunity and is forcing our competitors to sit up and take notice--we are back on offense.

Sun Microsystems is built on the principles of openness and innovation. We've contributed more code to the open source community than any other company on earth and we're committed to furthering its future. I believe that we in the technology industry have a responsibility to remove the barriers to participation on the network and help fuel innovation and economic opportunity -- and I believe open source helps us reach that goal.
