applications, Java benefits from a massive community of developers and
supporters who have created this powerful and viable culture that
continually pushes innovation to the forefront."

vice president, Desktop Solutions, Sun Microsystems. "As the only
systems company to unabashedly embrace Linux on the desktop with a
complete suite of development and deployment products, and with partners
as tenacious and innovative as Lindows.com, Sun is leading the
revolution to deliver choice, range of applications and content, and a
dramatic reduction in the cost of computing."
