Bangalore, June 25: Global IT major Sun Microsystems said on Wednesday its desktop solutions ‘Madhatter’" would be launched in India as part of its global plan in September. "Our aim is to bring down the overall cost of the software in excess of 70 per cent to 80 per cent than that of Microsoft," Sun Microsystems India Managing Director Bhaskar Pramanik told reporters.
He said the desktop solutions for businesses would have Linux and Solaris Operating Environment as part of its package.
Unlike the West which is a server-based market, India was largely a desktop market with over two million PCs in use, Pramanik said.
"Imagine the savings using Sun's desktop solutions multiplied by two million as compared to Microsoft products," he said. Bureau Report
