Our Philosophy
We began with a simple belief. Sharing is good. Today, Java is shared by 4,500,000 developers and found in hundreds of millions of products – everything from cell phones, PC’s and smart cards, to mobile games and automobile dashboards. Solaris, the world’s most advanced operating system, is shared by a base of over 1,500,000 users. And OpenSolaris ensures more people in more places will soon have more options.
Past, present and future, the people of Sun have worked to open systems, liberate innovation, and bring people together. Because when technological barriers come down, opportunity has nowhere to go but up. More ideas. More economic gain. More value. From everyone on the network. These are the inevitable results from sharing information and innovation. It’s time for open communities, open markets and open minds.
Indeed, it is time to move from an Information Age to what we call a Participation Age. A time when sharing is not something we will do only out of the goodness of our hearts, but also because of the undeniable economic and social returns.
In the business world, however, sharing doesn’t always come so easily. But maybe it should. The idea is the catalyst. The Network Is The Computer. Share.
