Sun And Microsoft aim for single sign-on
Microsoft and Sun Microsystems last week issued a progress report on the technical truce the companies called this year but gave little indication of what specific fixes they would devise to address customers’ problems.
The companies, whose products are among the most widely used in IT shops, have been working since April to resolve differences among products that they say have created difficulty and expense for customers. During conference calls with reporters and analysts last week, Microsoft and Sun executives said they’re developing a plan for the next decade that would make signing onto corporate-computer networks, working with 64-bit systems, developing 3-D graphics, and running Java software on Windows less of a headache for businesses that own products from both companies.
