Execs say they're happy with Sun Microsystems' performance in Australia, but much of that can still be attributed to a single customer -- Telstra.
Eyebrows were no doubt raised in Canberra last week after the US Department of Justice threw its weight behind a case that takes Accenture, Hewlett-Packard and Sun to task over alleged kickbacks when working together on big US government procurement deals.
All processes around the sale, manufacturing, distribution and basic support of the new version of Sun Microsystems' office suite will be outsourced in Australia to a yet-to-be-appointed local software publisher.
The European Union on Wednesday issued its ruling in the long-running case against Microsoft, fining the American software giant US$613 million, the heaviest punishment in any European competition case to date.
Sun's chief strategy officer, Jonathan Schwartz, testifies that Microsoft could use its .Net strategy to thwart competition and extend its monopoly power to the Internet.
