open standards
Explanation:
In your text the term is used with reference to Sun Microsystems. There are over 100K Google hits for "sun microsystems" + "open standards". I think it means systems like Linux that are non-proprietary.

Thanks guys - Just some Googling tips.

Translatol: careful with your use of "+". It is not the same as "AND", and inyour example it serves no purpose. "+" means that the search term should be exactly as written, and is therefore useful when searching for words with accents. You can also use it for words that are normally ignored by Google, such as "to", "an", "be", "is" etc...

To see an example, search for "pense" then search for +"pensé" and you'll see the difference in the number of hits.

Note that by default Google uses AND, so you didn't need to put anything between the two terms.

Sheila: don't forget to put quotation marks around words that make one term ("open standards").
