Schwartz vs McNealy

I was very surprised to see that Jonathan Shwartz holds more shares (943,309) of Sun Microsystems compared to Scott McNealy (269,920). It's been less than 3 years since he took over the CEO position from McNeally who was the CEO of Sun for more than 20 years.
While Jonathan is cool and all, I believe he is not as strong as McNealy. Since he took the CEO position, the Java team has lost a number of its key members and leaders and Sun is still facing tough financial problems. While Java iscertainly most probably not going to die for the foreseeable future, the not-difficult-to-imagine death of Sun might lead to the sudden death of Java too.
Oh, and by the way, the look and feel of java.net sucks bad. As bad as the Metal look and feel. Especially homepage of projects hosted on dev.java.net. I wanted to rant more but I will stop here for the time being.

Thanks for your warm welcome! I am still in a situation that can best be summarized as the "programmer's block". I think this is going to last at least up to next June after which I no longer have to go to this stupid thing called university
