Today, I tip my hat to my Sun colleagues who made two great announcments possible
during the past week:

• Sun’s
  Java Enterprise System to Bring New Integrated Development Platform to General
  Motors
• General
  Electric Selects Sun Microsystems for World-Wide Identity Management Deployment

In his Information Week article "General
Motors Signs Biggest Java Deal Ever", Darrell Dunn commented that "For
Sun, the GM deal and another with General Electric are signs of a rebound."

Ashlee Vance of The Register wrote, "Sun
pimps GMC’s data center with JES," including a great Scott McNealy
quote, "I love Detroit iron."

In his SearchWebServices.com article "GM
tabs Sun for SOA development," Mike Meehan stated "… the new
agreement will see the automotive giant leverage Sun’s full development and
identity management tools for an SOA built on Java and running on Sun’s Solaris
10 operating system."

I’m relatively new at Sun, but I like what I see. It’s great to be with a company
that thrives on innovation and forges working partnerships with leading companies
to put those innovations to work.
