Tech war! Google and Sun to join against Microsoft
October 4, 2005 by Mike Wendland
Make no mistake, when they talk about “trail-blazing technologies” they mean direct competition against things like Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows. Want proof? Read this quote from the news release:
The agreement between Sun and Google also kicks off further collaboration between the companies on projects like OpenOffice.org, the open source productivity suite that is the world’s leading suite on the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS) and Linux–and the leading alternative suite on Microsoft Windows.
The gauntlet has been tossed down and while Sun has long flailed away at Microsoft, you’d better believe that joining forces with Google is making Bill Gates and his cadre of geeks in Redmond take serious notice.
