Scott McNealy stating, "The Sun may be open source too much."

Website The Register has to meet with Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun since 1985, until 2006, before Jonathan Schwartz came to serve and sell the company to Oracle in this year in an interview McNealy told the achievements and the failure of the Sun. The Sun is an important issue with open source.
The Register asked the question that McNealy is the lessons learned from the mistakes of the Sun is what it is and McNealy said, "pampered shareholders before you always."
The answer may surprise many people. Because the Sun itself is a great friend to the open source world, but always indicate the end McNealy of Sun may be pampered, community and trying to open source everything too much. He talks about the privileges of the Oracle in the Java and open source software at Sun. That we are a public company. Is required to answer the questions that will create maximum value to shareholders how And will create a working environment to employees how
But when it comes to issues he identified as Sun Solaris is open source Solaris is too slow to Linux to dominate the software world is totally open. Rather than the Sun. The Sun's intention to open the left Wire SunOS Hall since the beginning, but AT & T to try to maintain their own source code. Sun and the exercise of Unix from AT & T to turn off the source. And spent many years Sun will also license the Unix and open source code has expired. If Sun can manage this from the beginning. Sun should share and do better in the world, Unix.
There are other issues. In an interview four pages long. Mergers and consolidation, glorious history, as well as issues Microsoft and x86 if English is strong enough to recommend to read offline.
