IMHO, I think this would be short-sighted and disastrous for Sun. IBM would kill anything that competes with it's current offerings, Solaris competes with AIX, FishWorks competes with their crappy rebranded NetApp Storage Systems, SPARC competes with their PowerPC arch, etc. I hope I'm wrong about this but I think Big Blue would kill off almost everything (except Java and MySQL) that we like about Sun. Thoughts?
