<blockquote>"To say that Java plays an important role in today's enterprise IT would be an understatement," said Craig Muzilla, vice president and general manager, Middleware, Red Hat. "It has had a profound impact on the creation and integration of technologies that have ushered us into the 21st century, shaping everything from banking and retail to transportation and research, and Red Hat is leading the charge. We want to see that continue, not only for the thousands of organizations running OpenJDK 6 and Java SE 6, but for users of future versions as well."</blockquote>
