Scotty got beamed out....
One of the major headlines this week was the ouster of founderand CEO of Sun Microsystems.., Scott Mc Nealy.There had been rumours to this effect for quite some timenow. Apparently the board and Scott did not see eye to eye any longer.
Sun Microsystems is a big name in the IT world with Java and Solaris platforms. However its revenues have been dipping of late.
The board and Sun's Wall Street backers wanted large scale layoffs to deal with the situation but Scott was opposed to it.
He is also known as a rabid anti Microsoft guy.. led Sun's lawsuit against Billy and his boys..and with rumors of increasing cosiness between the two IT giants.. seems a good time to let old Scotty go.
