I don't know how accurate this assessment is, but it doesn't sound
too good:

"[...]Sun's latest woes have ramped up speculation that one of the most
storied names in computing could be snapped up dirt-cheap by a bigger
rival. Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., and Dell Inc. are all possible
suitors

Hmm. Market cap == cash on hand. Why not go private? Sun should buy itself out and be done with it. Then, focus on long-term stability instead of bloody quarterly earnings.

well, it's not too surprising, when they are wasting time trying to make
[Solaris next] "Just like linux", instead of just taking
"the good bits" from it, and combining it with what makes people like
Sun/Solaris over linux.
