Interview: A Perspective on Sun's Desktop Strategy |
| PC Pro has interviewed Peder Ulander, Senior Director, Marketing Desktop Solutions, Sun Microsystems about the latest release of Sun Java Desktop System: "On the desktop, 95 per cent of them run Windows. I have one customer whose entire call centre shut down when the last virus hit. He could not make a sale for three days, because they had to patch and update all the systems. That's not where you go in and say: 'Hey replace all the systems with JDS,' because if Linux has that issue you have the same problem'. So it's about walking in and saying 'look, 50-50, or 80-20.'" The complete interview.
