Correct answer
Explanation
Sun Microsystems used the famous tagline 'The Network is the Computer' as its vision statement throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. This phrase captured Sun's core philosophy that computing power would shift from standalone desktops to networked systems and eventually to the Internet itself. The slogan predicted the rise of cloud computing, network-centric computing, and the Internet's transformative role. Cisco, Lucent, and Nortel were networking companies but this specific vision belonged to Sun.
