I worked for sun Microsystems for quite a number of years, I think about 25 or 26. So I totally understand how awesome Sun Microsystems was having started with them back in 1987. But before I worked at Sun Microsystems I worked at Apollo computer for about 4 and 1/2 years. What people forget is that Apollo computer actually came up with their workstation running a proprietary operating system called aegis and they shipped their first product in 1981 with the company starting in 1980. In fact when I went to work at Sun microsystems, I still felt that the Apollo computer hardware and software was Superior. In fact I would say it took son three or four more years before the software and easy Network connectivity came to be the same as Apollos. But I will say one thing about Sun that Apollo could never do, and that was the son understood how to meet customer needs. Apollo had very custom hardware and therefore costlier hardware where Sun would take a lot of things off the shelf. Not only that Apollo would always go for the highest performance, and Sun would go for the sort of performance that people expected, and that alone would cause their hardware and therefore product pricing to be lower. They hit the customer sweet spots, or Apollo was just too expensive. But even more critical than that even, sun Microsystems gave their sales force tremendous latitude. When sun and Apollo were duking it out in competition with a customer, son allowed their sales force to have much greater latitude in throwing in bargains and deals where Apollo had to make their customer sales force go back to the main sales people taking a lot of time. Sun Microsystems salespeople would win deals just because Apollo salespeople could not react fast enough. So all in all, Sun Microsystems had a much better corporation because even though I talked only about two companies back then, at one point in probably the early 90s there were easily JAWS companies.... And Jaws was an acronym for just another workstation. It was a dog eat dog business, and that's why sons total company infrastructure and incentives worked so well against all others!
