Google and Sun deal: That's it?
http://news.com.com/Google+and+Sun+deal+Thats+it/2100-1012_3-5888798.html?part=rss&tag=5888798&subj=news
The announcement left many bloggers less than thrilled, and blog entries with titles such as "Big whoop," "That's it?" and "Google and Sun announce yawn"
I've gotten comments ranging from "lame" to "underwhelmed," describing today's Sun-Google announcement.
Some people are scrambling to find the meat of the deal, but there really isn't any there--Google doesn't even think it's big enough to warrant putting out their own press release.
That's it?! You held a press conference and generated all that hype to announce that at some unnamed point in the future, the Google Toolbar (which is already on practically every computer out there) will be optionally available when people download the Java Runtime Environment?! What a letdown! To say nothing of the fact that bundling is bad. Can you think of an instance where products are bundled together like this that doesn't annoy the heck out of you?
ROFL
Meat in the deal?
This thing is a stinking BK Veggie. What possible reason would someone have to depend on a remote site for an application they can get for free to run locally? [Stupidity?]
Good grief, this is a press release without pressure and damn little release.
