Keeping up with Sun PR has me feeling like i need some meds:https://www.sun.com/aboutsun/media/pressreleases.jspI mean one day I am public accosting Jonathan, then i realize that this xVM virtualization thing has some legs and issue a public apology, basically because i have such a warm and fuzzy from the Glassfish ESB move, and then Sun PR gets back to doing what they do best: issuing inane, irrelevant, and utterly pointless openSolaris press releases… I know i have basically lost a lot of readers by going negative and even broaching the nuclear option of eliminating Jonathan, but can anyone defend Solaris to me, well, please don’t even try, this is a dead issue to me, i am kind of pissed that i am even writing this entry, as my historical post from this week on the JBI-influenced ESB market that has re-written the economics of middleware will no longer be at the top, so please do wade below this entry if you are stopping by, because i am not a flame-thrower for the sake of a personal grudge, i think, or at least that is what i tell myself…But look at the September 17-18, 2008 press releases from Sun on the link above, i mean, is anyone even qualified at Sun to be talking about the IT marketplace anymore, let alone is anyone in the PR department have any say in what is marketed, or do they just take orders?…this is just a re-hash of the same problem that has been going on for more than 5 years now, that because Sun sold a lot of boxes to start-ups in the dot-bomb era, they think that makes Solaris permanently relevant, its just mis-guided analysis, i guess the whole concept of press releases needs to be re-thought, as well as product releases, and partner announcements…I have a tough time staying positive, when Sun Tech Days does not even mention Glassfish, i have a difficult time ever saying sorry anymore when Jonathan allows the openSolaris cancer to continue even when he has the opportunity to put a lid on it, and i have a very tough time believing that Sun is going to have financial results that provide some cover to the people that are betting on its ongoing survival, i don’t know why, some days, i look at Google Finance for JAVA news, as it just brings me down, and i am not sure if i am making a difference re-stating the obvious state of the company, when Jonathan just keeps on smiling and getting paid… What will it take to see change come to this company, i mean Glassfish is alive and well, MySQL needs massive investment, and Red Hat needs to be brought-in to sell some hardware, what else can i do, i honestly feel run-down, like i am just coming out of a psychiatric break from reality, like i am just entering recovery from an episode, this whole raise the spectre of what is hurting Sun has hurt me to a certain extent, and Jonathan keeps on allowing openSolaris press releases…will someone please save me some sanity, and explain to me where do we go from here?… Java
