Sun Microsystems is after the UK education market with its alternatives to Microsoft’s Windows and Office software. “Sun champions best practice in education through technologies that give students a learning advantage and education leaders a budget advantage,” said Scott McNealy, Sun CEO, at the company’s Madrid conference. Sun is also promoting a global Education Learning Community to create a set of standards connecting nations and academic institutions. The company hopes it can be used to share resources and for work on collaborative projects.
