Sun Banks On Open Source For Its Survival
CWmike writes “In moving to cut its current workforce by between 15% and 18% today, Sun is trying to stay ahead of a falling knife. And today’s announcement made it clear that Sun officials are banking on the company’s open-source strategy to help it pull through. A cut of up to 6,000 employees at Sun will hurt, but CEO Jonathan Schwartz contends users will be more inclined to try open-source products such as MySQL, OpenSolaris and Sun’s GlassFish application server during a time of economic stress.” Reader Barence also pointed out that Sun will begin to auction “branding space” in OpenOffice.
