Barrett, Ballmer, Fiorina, and Capellas were present and accounted for at Gartner's Fall Symposium, but no McNealy this year. No calling Microsoft a "hairball" or IBM a company that wants to "Hoover your wallet." (If you're not sure what those mean, check my McNealyisms dictionary. Scott's absence at the event was noted by many attendees. What could be more important, at this critical point in time for Sun, than the opportunity to communicate his vision for turning Sun around to 6,000 important (or potential) customers? There are attendees here that allegedly pay $86,000 a year just to be a part of Gartner's most elite group of pampered CIOs and get access to the industry heavyweights.
