I was going thru an old stack of Business Week magazines and came across an article from 1997 - entitled "Operation Sunblock: Microsoft Goes to War:

Some choice quotes:
"Sun is squarely in our sights now, and you'll see us attacking on all fronts" - Deborah Willinham - VP of enterprise customer unit

"It's all about focus, Microsoft does best when it focuses on customers and a key competitor" - Todd Nielsen, VP of Developer Relations.

Call it Operation Sunblock. In July, Microsoft launched an all-out campaign to woo Sun's current and potential customers to NT.

Here's the funny part - the market capitalization of Sun at that time - 16.6 Billion dollars!
