Sun also says its software chief, Rich Green, has resigned. The company has fallen into a deep slump as sales of its high-end servers have collapsed. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company said Friday the job cuts will include between 5,000 and 6,000 employees over the next year. It says the cuts will save $700 million to $800 million annually.
