Sun's Website is a Piece of Crap
Topic: Business 6:56 pm EST, Mar  2, 2007

I like Sun products. I use Solaris. I buy Sun Servers. I recommend Sun products. I tell people to buy Sun stock. I have had good experiences with Sun Support. I participate in the local OpenSolaris Users' Group. I believe in Sun as a company.

But Sun's website is a piece of shit. It is terrible. It is difficult to navigate, downloading anything is a pain, finding anything is impossible, and if anything is broken you can always rely on the outsourced web staff to not fix the problem. Which happens frequently. I have had Sun sales staff inform me that ever since their website was outsourced, these problems have plagued them. Gee whiz, who would have thought?

I want to believe in Sun, but its hard when they make the ENORMOUS MISTAKE of outsourcing their website development. They are a technology company, and their website BLOWS.

Here's one example that just pisses me off:

The Sunray 2. Here it is "From $249. (US)"

So click there and it still says "From $249 (US)." Now click "Customize it." It starts at $374. There is a non-optional license for each Sunray 2.

One moment it starts at $249. The next moment it is $374. What kind of total bullshit is that? The kind that makes me buy from someone else, thats what kind.

Of all the companies on planet earth, Sun has the LEAST excuse to have a bad, slow, crappy website. And yet they do. And they're supposed to be recovering. Well guess what? By the looks of their website, Sun is rotten. Rotten to the core.

Fire whoever was in charge of this, and get someone competent. And hire a westerner or two in the website department.
