Today, I tip my hat to my Sun colleagues who made two great announcments possible during the past week:

• Sun's Java Enterprise System to Bring New Integrated Development Platform to General Motors
• General Electric Selects Sun Microsystems for World-Wide Identity Management Deployment

In his Information Week article "General Motors Signs Biggest Java Deal Ever", Darrell Dunn commented that "For Sun, the GM deal and another with General Electric are signs of a rebound."

Ashlee Vance of The Register wrote, "Sun pimps GMC's data center with JES," including a great Scott McNealy quote, "I love Detroit iron."

In his SearchWebServices.com article "GM tabs Sun for SOA development," Mike Meehan stated "... the new agreement will see the automotive giant leverage Sun's full development and identity management tools for an SOA built on Java and running on Sun's Solaris 10 operating system."

I'm relatively new at Sun, but I like what I see. It's great to be with a company that thrives on innovation and forges working partnerships with leading companies to put those innovations to work.
