I'm not sure what you mean here.
I mean that they are at opposite ends of the IT spectrum. Google makes
money by providing free web services and selling advertising space. Sun
makes money by selling SPARC hardware and invests in software only
incidentally to help it sell more SPARC.
It seems to me that Sun's main business
is providing the kind of equipment that is central to Google's business
model. Maybe they see a possible synergy.
Actually no, Google doesn't run on SPARC hardware, it uses x86. It also
doesn't run on Solaris, it runs on Linux. And not even the same Linux
distro that Sun likes.
Cheers,
Daniel.
