Review High Noon: The Inside Story of Scott McNealy and the Rise of Sun Microsystems / John Wiley & Sons:

Sun Microsystems is the type of company that most new startups hope to become: massively profitable, astoundingly innovative and supremely adaptable. But as Karen Southwick's engaging narrative High Noon makes clear there were many bumps along the road to Sun's $25 billion market valuation. In fact, when Sun started out in the early '80s as a spinoff of the Stanford University Network (SUN) there was barely a road at all. It's hard to remember a time when there wasn't a computer on every desktop, but in 1981 engineers had to stand in line to use their company's mainframes. Sun's business strategy was to sell a desktop workstation for each employee who needed a computer. On top of that, Sun allowed those workstations to exchange data via an intracompany network and used graphical interfaces to make them easier to navigate. Standard stuff now, but a radical series of concepts back then, and it was inevitable that Sun would clash with Microsoft. Sun CEO Scott McNealy's enmity for the software colossus is well-known-he was a key player in the U. S. Government's antitrust action against Microsoft in the late 1990s-and it temporarily scattered the company's focus, leading to a major reorganisation. [+]
The conclusion to the Sun story is of course unknown. Southwick ends her book with a peek into the future, speculating on what will become of promising computer languages like Java and Jini. But it seems like it'll be a long time before Sun sets. -Lou Schuler, Amazon. com.
