DEC is gone, HP-UX is going away, PA-RISC is gone," he said, referring to Digital Equipment Corp. Schwartz said Sun is "very" serious about the effort and argued that it's in the best interests of rivals who wish to spread their chip architectures...
Businesses are relying increasingly on innovation in their business processes, rather than their end products, to compete, he said, and new service-oriented software architectures are ideally suited to deliver this kind of innovation.
