Finding interesting customers is not easy.

Particularly when you're told them they're "old IT" and are not worth R&D.

Quoting:
Sun Microsystems has redistributed its roughly $2 billion research and development budget to direct its most talented engineers and funding of new projects toward Internet-based computing and away from "classic IT," said Greg Papadopoulos, Sun's CTO and executive VP of R&D.

One outcome of the plan is that many of Sun's business customers, who emphasize IT cost-cutting and integrating old computer systems, will become "uninteresting over time," Papadopoulos said.
