But there's a big difference in scope between the grand "multiyear, strategic agreement" the companies heralded at a press conference Tuesday and the much narrower particulars they actually announced. To make matters more confusing, some of the technology involved is complex, and executives hinted at other elements of cooperation beyond what was in the press release. What specific move did Sun and Google announce Tuesday? Within 30 days, Sun will begin distributing the Google Toolbar with its Java software when people download the latter from Sun's Web site. Sun will get "direct monetary value" from the distribution deal, said John Loiacono, Sun's executive vice president for software. Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that what separates the Toolbar distribution deal from others the company has is the "vastness" of it. Sun CEO Scott McNealy said the Java software is downloaded 20 million times per month. Source: News.com
