As part of an effort to fend off competition from low-cost servers running Linux, Sun Microsystems will begin giving its salespeople commissions on the non-Sun hardware that's bundled with Solaris.
Sun Microsystems' executives have rarely been known for meekness, but the company's new chief operating officer took a tone of humility while arguing that the company has mended its ways.
Sun Microsystems has called for reform of the US patent system, with its president and chief operating officer saying authorities are too free to issue patents, some of which were "spurious" and being used to stifle innovation.
