Sun/Intel Alliance: 'A Game Changer'

Is it just me, or is this a real *yawn*.

Google to Acquire Sun? (GOOG, SUNW)

Google would be nuts to buy Sun. They are in very different businesses, and Sun can't work out how to make money for the life of them. They have a platform like Java, and IBM makes all of the money from it.

They open source their app server, and it is hardly used (I know they claim lots of downloads). They put a lot of effort into Apache Tomcat and don't get credit for it. Open sourcing Solaris? Just a few years too late.

Ouch.
