SUNW is now JAVA

Sun changed their stock symbol from SUNW to JAVA.
Sun is blessed to have built two of the best known brands on the internet. The Java brand, and OpenOffice (and its cousin, StarOffice).
Dude. Sun sells hardware. It's what you do. Y'all write software so we have a reason to spend big bucks on the hardware. We're not filling data centers with racks and racks of Sun branded servers because of Java or OpenOffice. We're filling data centers with racks and racks of Sun hardware because the machines are solid, they scale and Solaris is a terrific operating system.

But I am not a marketing guy, I don't have any money invested in Sun ... so this may be one of those clever as a fox deals that I just don't get.
