A Legend of Our Time Steps Down

Say what you will about Scott McNealy, but he has been a legend in our time. Some day, historians will look back at the “robber barons” of the modern era and it’s unquestionable McNealy will be there with Larry, Bill and Steve.

I never found Sun’s strategy, technology, or promotions compelling, always thought they were way too arrogant (”we’re the dot in dot com”, now “dot in Web 2 dot 0″), but Scott McNealy always gave you something to laugh at. You just never know what he’ll say… (Scott’s probably good for keeping lawyers and PR teams employed)

In that spirit I’ll just point everyone to CNet’s collection of great McNealy quotes.

CNet also put together a video of his quotes here.
