Never mind that Sun Microsystems just announced a $1.7 billion loss for its most recent quarter (mostly due to write downs of pricey acquisitions like the $4.1 billion it spent on StorageTek). Never mind that its market cap is only $4 billion, despite having three times as much annual revenues and $2 billion in cash. Never mind that co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim, who returned to help save the company, is now interested in other things.
CEO Jonathan Schwartz has a new plan to get the company back on track. All I’m going to say is that it involves open-source. Schwartz lays it out in the exclusive video interview above, which he conducted a couple weeks ago with TechCrunchIT editor Steve Gillmor. Okay, the interview is with Schwartz’s puppet. But it is an exclusive interview.
(Props to the Puppetman).
