		Papadopoulos on shrink-wrapping the datacenter: If Bill Gates goes down in history for his greatest contribution to computing, it will be for driving the concept of shrink-wrapped software: spend $50 million building a piece of software, sell a million copies of it for $100, and make $50 million in profit.
		Papadopoulos on why the middleware layer (Java or.Net) is the key to datacenter regularity: The binary compatibility that you had to know because of the processor architecture underneath is not only hard on end users, but it's also hard on [developers].
		Papadopoulos on the cost of not transitioning to a middleware architecture and his progress report on where the transition for many stands now: If you aren't working to navigate across [the gap], you will fail and be cursed as a company.

		Papadopoulos forecast that systems will exchange objects, including both data and program code, that they will be able to execute because they share common virtual machines.
		Papadopoulos said recent business moves, such as AT&T's acquisitions of cable TV companies, are examples of what is happening.
		Then a prediction that drew some nervous laughter from the audience: "We'll discover we built the wrong network." Papadopoulos explained that he meant that the basic assumption has been that the network's main job is to distribute information out from the center, but in the long term it may be the other way around.

	ASPnews.com -- News : Sun: Say You Want a Revolution?
		Papadopoulos proposed a new definition of system, composed of heterogeneous elements where the network performs like the SMPT backplate.
		Papadopoulos pointed to several trends that create a watershed: applications that scale to millions of users and a growing number of computers and other objects connecting to the network.
		Papadopoulos said that as the number of networked things grows by a factor of one million, it requires a radical transformation of software.

		Greg will be joined here in Redmond by Andrew Layman, who's Microsoft's Director of Distributed Systems Interoperability, and remotely by Hank Vigil, who's Microsoft's [senior] vice president for Strategies and Partnerships.
		GREG PAPADOPOULOS: And I would just add one other thing, you know in the enterprise environment that we're most focused in here that customers really will have mixed environments that have Windows and have Solaris, and our intendent stacks on top of them.
		GREG PAPADOPOULOS: Those are things that are evidence of stuff that has failed to interoperate in the past, those have been separate independent efforts to do identity frameworks for the Web.

		Probing that role were Greg Papadopoulos, CTO of Sun Microsystems; Grover Ferguson, chief scientist of Accenture; and Mario Mazzola, chief development officer of Cisco Systems.
		One such "big thing," according to Papadopoulos, is the 'network computer.' "We're going to be networking the world," he claimed.
		Papadopoulos said that he thought the concept of utility computing was overblown.

		Sun's Greg Papadopoulos shook hands and answered questions in front of the wall-sized panel of white boards he had filled with his charts and diagrams.
		Papadopoulos said flat out that he "lives or dies" on the success of the heterogeneous, highly distributed, low-cost, and low-power computing model he described, which is quite a distance from what Sun is pushing today.
		Papadopoulos talks about a room full of machines as a system, and claims he doesn't care what kind of machines they are or what OS each one runs.

	Making peace with a rival / Sun Microsystems sends a top man to sit down with Microsoft
		Papadopoulos was then an MIT engineering professor and he had been assigned to welcome Gates.
		But some observers say Papadopoulos is precisely the executive Sun needs now: a veteran technologist who isn't afraid to try big and daring ideas to help Sun reclaim its place as the business world's go-to firm for information technology.
		Papadopoulos said the new computing model requires building big networks that could serve the needs of many companies, not just one.

		The customer was a technologist to start, so he was in his comfort zone, but it had become increasingly obvious that the next generation of differentiation on the web was going to come from technology innovation - not just good BD or branding.
		We're committed to be exactly that: an innovator that delivers value as measured by those who live or die by innovation.
		Please join me in congratulating Greg as he helps to define a new era of technical leadership at Sun.

		Papadopoulos offered his take on how IBM, HP and Dell fit into the emerging world of services and utility grids.

		Papadopoulos says no Sun engineer will escape his scrutiny, leaving open the chance there may be more changes in the offing than Schwartz's steady-on-the-wheel takeover speeches suggest.
		Papadopoulos figures he'll review some 500 projects under way at Sun, with an eye on getting Sun's R&D more in line with customers' desires.

		Papadopoulos also talked about Sunâs vision for the future, moving from shrink wrap software to services and from client/server to utility computing.
		Reflective of the shift to new network-centric models, he said: âI want to be the Google of something, not the Microsoft or SAP.â Perhaps, but so far Sun is ahead of the curve with its vision of commoditizing infrastructure and trailing in terms of generating growth in its business, compared to Google, Microsoft or SAP.
		The bottom line seems to be that Sun's making two big bets, both around commoditization: assuming continued growth on the client/demand side of public and private networks, they're redoubling efforts to be the hardware vendor of choice for the back end.
