Actually, I think this business plan would be preferable-- This paper outlines a new business strategy for Sun Microsystems Inc. (Sun) that seems to greatly improve upon the company's current one. By adopting this paper's ideas, it seems that Sun can re-orientate itself, in a straightforward manner, to vastly increased profitability - away from its current path to demise. However, the window of opportunity for the strategy's execution is limited due to the growing enterprise functionality and corporate support of the open-source Linux operating system and the growth of the Microsoft .NET software platform.
