The Scott McNealy show is still basically.. The Scott McNealy show. It hasn’t changed much. Everyone else is a hairball. IGS is bad. Microsoft is bad. "Its mankind against…"
Sun is apparently a great partnering company - and Scott pointed to EDS, Oracle, Google, NEC and Microsoft as examples.
I am pretty sure the IBM Software Group folks would be more than happy to stack up their ISV ecosystem against Sun's. Partnering works in a lot of different dimensions. Or how about POWER? IBM would probably be pleased to compare the economics of NEC versus the XBOX, Nintendo and Sony volumes.
I only bring up IBM because Scott does... repeatedly.
