Sun Turning Blue? March 18, 2009
Posted by Lee Dallas in Content Management, IBM.trackback
Apoligies for the lack of posting – day job has me really busy at the moment but I had to throw this out there. Rumors and stories abound about IBM being in talks to buy Sun. While this is off our normal content management focus it is nevertheless significant. I shudder when I think about the impact of IBM controlling the fate of MySQL. It’s not that Sun has done such a stellar job there but there are so many tidbits of interestng technology that will ultimately get lost in the big Blue catalog.
[...] Anyway, if this happens the IT market will change significantly for a lot of people and while this does not directly touch the ECM space, I believe it will affect us (i see Lee feels this also). [...]
Basically another year, another rumour of Big Blue buying Sun. I guess if you say it often enough its bound to happen.
well colin – you called it. I thought it was a done deal but guess not.
