The vendor who made the bold statement is Sun, specifically CEO and President Jonathan Schwartz.

But that doesn’t mean I’ll be slinking off into the sunset with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Red under one arm and a redhead on the other. Cringeville is merely getting a new ZIP code in the blogosphere. Look for the same bad puns and snarky commentary in tasty snack-sized pieces starting next week on InfoWorld.com.

While you may very well have read each and every Enterprise Windows column he wrote over the years, it's possible that you missed some of the great Windows-oriented product reviews and analyses the InfoWorld Test Center has done, many penned by Oliver.

After the great bust, many techies began looking for more down-to-earth opportunities, namely opportunities that led to solid jobs with companies that were likely to still be in business a few years down the road. New worlds to conquer, stock options that could vault one into the eight-figure income bracket, high excitement? Thanks, but no thanks.

Everything we strive to do in computer security is to protect the data. It's the data that has value. So it only makes sense that our computer security defense plan is data-centric.

One day, a brand new hire, let's call him "Frank," walked into the cube that Jesse and I shared. He needed advice.
