"his firm had built up its brand name and a $6 billion cash stockpile over the last few years, despite a large part of its customer base evaporating with the dot-com meltdown"

In other words they sold an unviable proposition to unwise clients who were spending other people's money. What kind of gloat is that for a CEO?

The free and easy OPM has now gone. So have Sun's customers.

Time to buy Intel for those that want value for money.

Funny, my sources show the cash and short term investments at around $2 billion, not $6 billion. Was he exaggerating, or have the losses been worse than we thought lately?
