IBM to buy Sun? I think someone is using the Wall Street Journal to overshadow our cloud launch today. I can't remember how many speculations on who wants to buy Sun I've heard during my almost ten years at Sun. Anonymous sources...

IBM & Sun huh? Do NOT want.

I googled this BTW and found this: "International Business Machines (IBM) and Sun Microsystems jointed announced the availability of the JavaOS for Business, one of the long promised thin-client operating systems based on the Java programming language. But the big news wasn't the OS, which hasn't generated a lot of excitement, it was a rumor making the rounds that IBM was getting ready to buy Sun, fueling a new era of independence from Microsoft. Though neither company will discuss the rumors, Sun shares shot up accordingly on the speculation."

The date? 1998 :-p
