La semana pasada corrieron locos rumores sobre la compra de Sun Microsystems por parte de IBM (que sería la adquisición más grande de su historia). Ahora finalmente llega la confirmación extra-oficial de nadie menos que el CEO de Intel, Paul Otellini
No se confirma la compra, se confirma la INTENCIÓN de compra, pero la compra aun está muuuuy lejos. De hecho acaban de publicar en the register un artículo contando que Oracle y HP podrían haber hecho una oferta conjunta: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/26/oracle_hp_joint_sun_deal/
A separate business question. What do you think of rumors for IBM acquiring Sun? Good for us? Did Cisco entry spur IBM?
Oh, I don’t know if the Cisco entry spurred IBM. I think cheap Sun price—a low price spurred a lot of interest. I can tell you that Sun was shopped around the valley and around the world in the last few months. A lot of companies got calls or visits on buying some or all the assets of the company. It looks like IBM is in the hunt now. And at a hundred and some odd percent premium, I suspect they’ll get it.
I don’t think it had anything to do with Cisco. I think IBM is trying to consolidate architectures. IBM has the strongest Java license in the industry. By picking up Sun—which is the creator of Java—they really consolidate their position not just in Linux, but also in Java.
I think the stuff on Solaris and SPARC is likely to see EOLs over time through the IBM acquisition. But no strategic reason for IBM to maintain that except to attempt to convert the very large Sun
Resumiendo: Sospecha que IBM podría conseguirlo, puesto que le interesa Sun por Java, y Solaris y SPART kaput Lástima, de Solaris podrían sacar muchas cosas.

También la considero errónea.
Errónea como bien apunta #4.
Descártala, por favor.
#4 Pues no se qué es peor noticia. Si Oracle compra Sun, ¿qué pasará con MySQL?
#3 Y Google los comprará a todossssssssssssss!!!!
Pues si OpenOffice estaban pensando de dejar de darle soporte antes, ahora no quiero ni pensarlo... Mierda.
