InternetWeek interviewed McFarlane of Sun today. Although the interview does not go into detail, McFarlane revealed that 50% of the Fortune 500 companies use Java, that Sun's seen an upturn in hardware orders (despite the slump most other manufacturers are feeling), and that Linux is not really a competitor for it in the very high end.
