Keynote Webcast

"Oracle chief executive officer, Larry Ellison and Sun Microsystems chairman of the board and cofounder, Scott McNealy kicked off Oracle OpenWorld 2009 with a humorous keynote presentation Sunday night. McNealy's classic top 10 list poked fun at engineers "gone wild," then shifted to a more serious list: Sun's technology innovation. "Innovation is at the core of Sun. We are a products company with significant R&D," said McNealy.

Touting a variety of innovative Sun technologies -- Solaris, SunRay thin client, chip multithreading -- McNealy then introduced the "father of Java," Sun vice president and fellow James Gosling. "I've never worked for a software company, so it'll be an adventure," said Gosling. "They won't be a software company after we get done with them," McNealy replied.

Sun executive vice president, John Fowler announced that Sun is now the number one world-record holder in all seven key commercial benchmarks. He also highlighted the recently released Sun Oracle Database Machine, which brings together Oracle's software innovation and Sun's hardware innovation."
