[advocacy-discuss] IBM in talks to buy SUN! - Is this true!?

[Epps, Aaron]

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?

How it will affect OpenSolaris?
What is the future of SPARC?
