That seems to be the word from Sun (JAVA), which this afternoon dismissed speculation that McNealy will replace CEO Jonathan Schwartz in the aftermath of the deal’s collapse. “As a policy Sun does not comment on rumors or speculation,” the company said in a terse statement. “What we can say is that Sun is committed to its leadership team, growth strategy and building value for its shareholders.”
