Weren't Bechtolsheim and Joy two of the four co-founders of Sun? To claim that Sun devolved from the efforts of b-school entrepreneurs seems just a bit wacky. Sun was Baskett and Bechtolsheim's DARPA-funded university workstation, and Joy's (and Fabry's and Ferrari's) DARPA-funded university operating system. (Further, DARPA (Bob Kahn) insisted that the SUN workstation run Berkeley Unix. Kahn also insisted that Berkeley Unix include a TCP/IP protocol stack. Kahn was/is one smart cookie.) Wait a second.
