"We have a convicted monopolist and we give them a wet kiss" - McNealy

One guess what the Sun boss is on about...

Sun CEO Scott McNealy has offered his unique verdict on the imminent Microsoft settlement with the Department of Justice (DoJ), branding it a "fix". According to McNealy, the deal outlined last Friday is clearly the result of heavy lobbying of the Bush administration by Microsoft. This is something the Redmond-based company denies. Nevertheless, McNealy insisted, "the fix was in". Referring to the US government, McNealy said: "They gave away the bazooka and walked in with a spoon. We have a convicted monopolist and we give them a wet kiss." In remarks quoted in the WSJ, McNealy added: "Everybody calls me a cry-baby. But I'm not crying for me. I'll do just fine."
