Yes, it's over. Montalvo Systems, the company I named and helped lead, is no more.

As Michael Kanellos said in this blog post yesterday, Sun Microsystems announced that it is buying Montalvo's assets, and that's the end of that.

I've asked for some clarification on what I'm allowed to say about Montalvo. There's a lot to say, and I don't think there's anyone else to say it.

So stay tuned; you'll be hearing more about it.
