It's a dark day

As expected, Beijing had a rain after 110 days' drought, which cast the sky in dark. As planned, we had a job laid-off in China, which cast our hearts in dark. I still can't comfort myself since some of my friends are let go. I don't wanna comment much here since the stories behind the facts are beyond my imagination. I just say "You guys are the best. Good luck!".

Sun's Q2 FY09 Financial Results

(The following words only represent my own opinions, which has nothing to do with the ideas of Sun Microsystems.)

Our CEO Jonathan Schwartz just wrote about Sun's quarterly financial results in his blog.

As expected, it's mixed as the world is in the recession. But the results do show strong growth businesses of Sun, from Java to Mysql, from Solaris to xVM, from CMT to x64 to Open Storage. I see Solaris plays an important role in the growth, not just Solaris subscription billing itself. Solaris enables the functionality of xVM, CMT and Open Storage.
And I really appreciate the insight in the blog.
"Like the market for traditional storage, the networking marketplace is characterized by very high prices, proprietary software and restrictive hardware platforms - exactly the environment in which open source software and commodity components create choice and competition, welcome changes for customers seeking budgetary and technical relief."
Will we have Open Switch based on OpenSolaris in the future just like Open Storage? I don't know. The market should determine it.
The company is on the way of reshaping itself, transforming the innovation into the revenue.
