Scott McNealy is an IT industry idol. Not only did he cofound Sun Microsystems 25 years ago, but he is also devoted to open source technologies and is known for throwing high-profile barbs at competitors. In 2006, McNealy passed on his CEO job to Jonathan Schwartz, SUN’s former COO, and continued as chairman of Sun Microsystems and Sun Federal. On April 19, one day before an open source advocate protested Bill Gates’ visit to Tsinghua University in Beijing, McNealy, who lives in a Microsoft-free household and believes everyone should have a smart Java chip behind their ears, sat down with China Daily reporter Wang Xing to talk about his experiences.
