Interesting to read that Washington Governor Chris Gregoire couldn’t reach MS Office on time! How did Sun solve this problem? Sun came up with SunRay thin clients and smart Java Cards. With a thin client and a secure authentication mechanism, Sun has the ability to show your desktop anywhere in the world. It actually takes far less time than getting your laptop from hybernate mode and connect it to the local network. Or less time than launching your remote desktop software application on your native operating system!
Close to 15,000 Sun employees don’t have a fixed office and are empowered to work from any flexible office in the world. Isn’t it beautiful? Didn’t we solve this problem already, long back?
