Look at Sun Go
Gotta give Sun Microsystems' relatively new CEO Jonathan Schwartz a lot of credit. The company looked dead in the water after the dot-com crash. Scott McNealy started maneuvering the company into different areas -- doing things like cutting a deal with Microsoft and investing in R&D during the darkest times -- and Schwartz picked up that ball and just ran with it.
Through 2007, Sun mounted its comeback. Schwartz, who has none of McNealy's charm with journalists, has been winning fans in the media. The company is doing lots of little things right with customers. And now Sun reports that it will meet its growth goals.
Tech companies don't often make those kind of turnarounds. Pretty impressive.
