All You Mac Users Out There, Welcome to Sun!

It's nice to see that as more and more people start using Macs, the Apple users and developers are seeing more and more of Sun's technology.

Not only are OpenOffice and NeoOffice two of the most popular office productivity software products on the Macs, now Sun's new VirtualBox program brings Windows, Linux, and Solaris to the Mac. And did I mention that all Mac users can download these products for FREE!

Check out this Macworld article You can even see from the video, that the author Rob Griffiths runs Solaris on his Mac... and demos the video! And look at this Slashdot posting filled with tons of accolades...

In addition, starting with Leopard version on the Mac OS, ZFS and DTrace are both included in Mac's operating system. You just gotta love how open source drives adoption.

Soooo...All you Mac users out there, welcome to Sun

Congratulations for all your success!
Sorry for using this means to reach you. I hope you still remember me. I’ve been wanting to make contact with you for a while now, and just found your blog. It’s been a long time. I hope everything is well with you and your family. Last time we spoke was in your Crystal City office when you were the CIO for DOD.
Not long after that meeting, I was contracted by SilverStream as a Field Application Engineer for their client PRC to develop the PERSCOM – PERSTEMPO application. You may have heard about it.
I am back in Virginia after being in Paraguay the last 6 years.
Please drop me a line. I’d like to hear from you.
Best regards,
Kevin
