Oops - looks like Schwartz may have spoken too soon about open sourcing Solaris. He was reported as saying:
While speaking at the SunNetwork conference in Shanghai, China, Schwartz commented: "I don't want to say when that will happen... But make no mistake - we will open source Solaris."
Only to have McNealy say this yesterday:
At a news conference during the public sector technology showcase FOSE 2004, McNealy said he couldn't understand how open sourcing Java would solve anything.
I've certainly inserted my foot firmly in my mouth before, but you would have thought that Schwartz would have cleared something that big before getting slapped down....
