To all our friends at Micros..always welcome?
Saturday May 14, 2005
Everytime someone from Sun talks with someone from Microsoft, conspiracy theories make the rounds of the tech blog sites and forums. (For that matter every time Sun does anything the theories make their rounds.) Well imagine my surprise when I saw a handwritten thank you note in our canteen which read something like this:
To our friends at Microsoft, thank you. You are always welcome here.
When I first saw the note I just assumed that it was a personal note to a talented former Sun employee who joined Microsoft a while back. Yesterday I looked more closely and saw that it was a thank you note to volunteers from "Microsoft" a.k.a. Sun Microsystems. A few weeks ago volunteers from Sun Ireland worked on some Dublin community projects. It seems the author of the thoughtful note just spelled "Sun Microsystems" with too much "soft" and not enough "Sun." Which, coincidently is exactly the problem we have with the weather in Ireland. I can imagine it now, "Who were those volunteers?", "They were from "Micro-uh-something." "Microsoft?" "Yeah, that's it."
Oh well, kudos to the volunteers from Sun Microsystems Ireland, and hiya K.B., how's the craic at Microsoft?
