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.
Google's not buying Sun. They have or will acquire the people they need
but they are not in similar businesses.
Google buys Solaris Inc. -- BAAAAHHHHHHHH HAH HAH HAh hah hah hah hah
...haaaahhhhhhh!
This is the absolutely most pea-brained idea ever uttered in public.
