Sun CEO vents his anger over possible settlement; McNealy doesn't plan to back off from fight
Article Abstract:
Sun Microsystems Inc's Scott McNealy is bitter about the way the US government backed off of Microsoft's monopoly case, making the Seattle, Washington, software giant pay no damages and letting it stay intact, rather than breaking it up into smaller units. Mr. McNealy says he must keep on fighting Microsoft and now the government, because he would otherwise be leaving an anarchy for his children to live under.
