SUN Microsystems We had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Sun's COO, Jonathan Schwartz, yesterday. We talked about a variety of things, including Java, Solaris, Red Hat and good ol' Unix.

I think Jonathan was simply baited into bashing Red Hat by the interviewer making misleading statements about the nature of the GNU Classpath project. Neither is GNU Classpath calling itself Java(TM)[1], nor is it the whole JAVA(TM) platform[2], nor is it in any real sense Red Hat's project, except in the interviewer's imagination ;)

I'll have to ask Jonathan not to feed the trolls next time ;)

cheers,

[2] There is no official runtime for GNU Classpath
