FANS OF THE 2008 SUMMER GAMES

MyPicks Beijing 2008 Lets Facebook Users Test Their Knowledge by

Predicting Winners

Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAVA) today announced the release of a

new social networking game for Facebook, allowing fans of the 2008

Beijing Summer Games to compete online, with their friends and for their

country, by correctly predicting medal winners throughout this summer’s

events. Sun is not an official sponsor of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The application, MyPicks Beijing 2008, allows participants to pick Gold,

Silver and Bronze medal winners for each event during the Summer Games

and win points for their country with each correct prediction. At the

conclusion of the Games, the country with the highest point total will

be declared the winner of the MyPicks Beijing 2008 Games. MyPicks

Beijing 2008 is available on Facebook today at: http://apps.facebook.com/mypicksbeijing/Home.

MyPicks Beijing 2008 was developed by Pramati Technologies using zembly™,

Sun’s new browser-based social application development environment.

Released in private beta in June 2008, zembly is the world’s first

social programming environment specifically designed for creating and

hosting social applications targeting the most popular platforms on the

web including Facebook, Meebo, OpenSocial, the iPhone and more. zembly

utilizes Sun hardware on Network.com™ while

taking advantage of Sun’s software stack – the

Solaris™ 10 Operating System, GlassFish™

application server and MySQL™ database. For

more information on zembly, please visit: www.zembly.com.

“The spirit of the Games has always been

about bringing the world closer together. So it’s fitting that social

networking sites like Facebook – that easily connect people around the

world – can be leveraged to create socially-driven applications such as

MyPicks Beijing 2008,” said Todd Fast, CTO of

the zembly project at Sun. “The zembly team

is thrilled to work with Pramati technologies to enable new forms of

applications for Facebook and demonstrate the exciting possibilities of

zembly.”

“Pramati Technologies is incredibly happy to

work with zembly to provide Facebook users around the globe with a

simple, exciting way to celebrate the 2008 Summer Games,”

said Vijay Pullur, Co-Founder & CTO, Pramati. “By

providing a complete hosted environment for creating and scaling social

applications, zembly has created a new way for developers of all skill

levels to easily build Facebook applications without the cost and

complexity of hosting and managing the application themselves.”
