Sun and General Motors have announced that GM will be building its entire SOA system on JES, which will be the largest single Java deployment ever. This marks both a victory for Sun's new licensing policies, as well as makes Sun's recent acquisition of SeeBeyond pay off. The new agreement will deploy Java's full line of identity management services and development tools, running on Solaris 10.

Sun's new strategy is appealing to businesses. From Java 5 to OpenSolaris to Opteron, they've really come around in the past couple years. They've also gone from bleeding money, to break-even, to profitable, too.
And people said big-ol' Sun couldn't compete in commodity markets. Well, they are!

SOA is a "hot" TLA and means "Service Oriented Architecture". Essentially the goal is to make services within the company more loosely coupled and gain flexibility in the process.
What this means is that GM will be taking current systems as well as any new systems and integrate them using the JES as a foundation.

SOA (can't be bothered to spell it out) is a marketing term designed to make something that has been around for years look brand new. IBM, Microsoft and Sun may be hyping it and trying to make money from it, but for the companies who look at implementing this crap they've already abandoned it because they simply cannot work out what it is. Even if they do, it's everything that's been done before except even more badly.

It was both - Solaris 10 & JES stack for GM (http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050727/sfw016.html?.v=17) and primarily the Identity Suite for GE (http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050801/nym052.html?.v=18). Yes I work for Sun...

Well, atleast it isn't over valued like certain companies listed on the sharemarket. Companies making less than Teltra Australia, and yet have share values 100x that of Telstra.
The sharemarket is market based around the bigger fool, hype and speculation - people have been burned during the dot-con bust, and people will never learn - they'll repeat the same mistake over and over again - investing into 'cool' companies have no basic fundamentals.
