	Scott G. McNealy 1954— - EARLY EXPERIENCE, STANFORD UNIVERSITY NETWORK, CHALLENGES
		McNealy was Microsoft's harshest and most vocal critic throughout the 1990s, and he was called on to testify during congressional hearings into competition in the software industry.
		While McNealy could not be regarded as a typical CEO, the company he built in many ways typified the phenomenal growth and technological achievement that was associated with Silicon Valley during the last two decades of the twentieth century.
		Since the company's inception, McNealy had been a strong proponent of the slogan "the network is the computer." This meant that the true value of the computer did not come from the machine you could see on your desk, but instead from the power it derived from being connected to other computers.

	CNN - Sun's McNealy delivers Microsoft jokes, predicts future - November 18, 1999
		McNealy has long been one of the most vocal critics of Microsoft and its PC-based computing model, and the Sun chief couldn't contain his delight about a U.S. court's recent determination that Microsoft has abused its monopoly position in the computer operating-systems market.
		But McNealy did find time to pitch a serious message as well: that software applications should be free, the PC is dying, and that everything and everybody will be connected to the Internet.
		McNealy said that IS staff can manage the appliances from the servers, and one Windows NT manager said that he spends most of his time helping his users.

	McNealy: Things are not all that bad - Nov. 19, 2002
		McNealy, speaking at Comdex on Monday, noted that Sun (SUNW: Research, Estimates) has an ample cash load and that will help the company during the downturn.
		McNealy said that the company intends to spend more than $10 billion on research and development and acquisitions over the next five years, despite some backlash from critics.
		McNealy says that in the future, people could use such cards at home in order to easily plug into their workplace's network via DSL or cable modem.

	01/22/96 SCOTT McNEALY'S RISING SUN
		His father, R. William McNealy, was vice-chairman of American Motors Corp. By the time he was a teenager, Scott was spending evenings with his dad, poring over AMC memos and golfing in foursomes with such industry luminaries as Lee A. Iacocca.
		Scott says he saw how AMC was marginalized because it never had sufficient market share--and he has vowed to make sure that doesn't happen to his company.
		McNealy's manufacturing skills enabled the young company to keep up with wild demand as sales soared from $9 million in 1983 to $39 million in 1984.

	Scott McNealy steps down \| The Register
		Scott McNealy is stepping down as Sun Microsystems' CEO after 22 years at the helm.
		McNealy pre-empted questions of timing by saying that he didn't wish to handover until the company was stabilized after the dot.com crash, and that it had been growing too fast to think about a handover during the boom.
		McNealy's persistence and belief grew Sun from its roots as a scrappy workstation start-up into one of the last three remaining enterprise systems companies.

	Press Conference Transcript: Steve Ballmer (Microsoft), Scott McNealy (Sun)
		SCOTT MCNEALY: I feel pressure everyday, and we have been working on this forever, and literally I think the bigger driver here was their ability to apply themselves to the issue just because they had some other issues they were dealing with in a place far, far away.
		SCOTT MCNEALY: And by the way, don't underestimate the fact that we work and interoperate to a large degree already and we both do the IP stack, we're on lots of standards bodies together and our customers make our products work well together already.
		SCOTT MCNEALY: And what you'll see from Sun Microsystems is every quarter when we do our network computer launch you'll see more -- every quarter we'll announce another set of features or capabilities of interoperability and compatibility with the Microsoft environment.

	TIME Digital -- Digital 50 - SCOTT MCNEALY
		McNealy, the leader of Silicon Valley's Everyone-but-Bill alliance, may have finally found the best partner of all in his war against Microsoft this year.
		In 1998 McNealy popped up in Congress and the courts, defensively painting Gates & Co. as monopolists who blocked competitors and "polluted" the Java programming language.
		McNealy's assembly-line management skills may not translate to the world of code.

		McNealy understands that, but he simply smiles and says, "We just have to get people comfortable with the fact that their money is safer in the bank than in their mattresses."
		McNealy says his job is to take the blame for missteps and spread the credit for successes.
		McNealy points out that Sun systems are used for modeling weather systems, mapping genetics information, running the world's financial systems, treating patients, and teaching students in far-flung locations.

		Mr McNealy, the co-founder and longtime chief executive at Sun Microsystems, thinks my notions are quaint.
		McNealy, in other words, is still pitching the mantra of what people dubbed the network computer a few years ago.
		This was the notion that the intelligence and data would be in the middle of the network, which would serve bits and bytes to simple-minded workstation displays.

		Scott just didn't see much reason to come to work without having MS to take shots at:I've realized the passion is gone.
		McNealy was a great CEO when "The network IS the computer" was an innovative strategy, but he was never able to go toe-to-toe with Bill Gates.

		Over the last 19 years, McNealy has been on a mission to prove his company's slogan: "The network is the computer." According to McNealy, the full value of the computer can be realized only by linking PCs, workstations, servers, and every other form of hardware.

		McNealy, chairman, chief executive officer, and president of Sun, informed a critical analyst community that Sun will not change by mimicking the strategies of IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell Computer.
		This message was a far cry from that of last year's conference, when McNealy took the stage in a penguin suit, looking like the Linux mascot Tux, and explained why Sun had indeed decided to go in the direction of rivals and ship Intel-based servers with Linux on top.
		McNealy defended several of Sun's past decisions and its future strategy based on the premise of being ahead of where the money will go.

		Scott McNealy: I'll tell you what we've done: We have lowered the cost model big time in the company; we have improved operating contribution significantly.
		McNealy: Mainly because the Java community process was there from the beginning.
		McNealy: We don't have a Java-like community process set up for evolving it, and we don't have access to the source code for developers to get access to it, because we have encumbered code to get out.

		April 24, 2006, 5:20 PM Following a flurry of rumors, Sun Microsystems on Monday disclosed that Scott McNealy, the company's founder and CEO for the past 22 years, will step down from his chief executive position.
		McNealy's departure comes as Sun reported a quarterly net loss of $217 million as it struggles to increase revenue and market share amidst growing competition from rivals such as IBM.
		McNealy will remain on as company Chairman and will devote his time to "expanding market opportunities," Sun said in a statement in which it called the change part of an "on-going succession planning process."

		That McNealy would be in the vanguard of a tech comeback may come as no surprise.
		And while McNealy earned a reputation for his sharp tongue, he also seemed to put his money where his mouth was: He and his wife named their first of four children Maverick and their dog Network.

	McNealy on message \| Newsmakers \| CNET News.com
		The chief executive has been working for years to put the server and software company back on an even keel after a period of explosive growth during the dot-com spending frenzy in the late 1990s.
		In McNealy's opinion, much of Sun's problem is merely perception--compounded by flawed Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that draw attention away from the company's track record of cash generation.
		McNealy discussed his views in a meeting at CNET News.com's offices on Wednesday.

		Afterwards, McNealy was evasive about when the tape drive would come out, but said it would be this year.
		Finally, and this really isn’t government IT-centric, but parents could get excited by it, after his keynote McNealy got on the subject of the new Global Education and Learning Community that Sun is involved with.

		NT may take big chunks of the market, but McNealy isn't about to hand over the enterprise to Bill Gates, as so many other Unix vendors appear to have done.
		The importance of McNealy's power lies not so much in the actual capabilities of Unix or Java, but in his ability to make users believe that life without Microsoft may not only be possible, but preferable.
