Boy, I'd love to know the full scoop on how and why the IBM/Sun deal fell apart. The Times is reporting that Sun's board balked at the reduced offer; I think they'll regret that move not long from now. Given the track record Sun's had over the last few years, I just don't see the upside for them on their own. They could start by looking for a CEO who has a better idea than "give it all away, and spend tons of cash on stuff that's free already".
