Charles,
Interesting quote from the article:
"This has been a watershed event for Sun," Shoemaker said, adding that the company has moved from the back of the class to class leader with respect to quality.
..., but that would mean that by Sun's own admission, their QC was really bad relative to most competitors as recently as a year ago. Later in the article, they state:
According to Shoemaker, Sun hasn't been able to narrow the problem to any one specific cause.
That's not a good sign for present customers, IMHO.
Finally, in response to your question about the journalism, if Sun admits to putting a gag order on their customers in exchange for fixing the problem more quickly (which they haven't yet done), I think it's reasonable to characterize any explanation from one of their highest-profile, flagship customers as "unclear".
Of course, JMHO. |
