Actually this is probably best for Sun as they find themselves squeezed by Linux on one side and Microsoft on the other. It seems that the market has less and less room for them. And it is good for IBM as they are strong on Java and probably will make a better gate keeper for Open Office.

Although, Sun may have had a great future with Cloud Computing. I always thought Sun had great vision, but useless execution.

Sun will rise again. We are saying this for past 9 years.

We're in a recession, some say a depression. Sun lost 10% of their customers due to the financial collapse. These aren't really fair economic conditions to be evaluating Sun's performance. Normally solid companies like Adobe are performing badly on the stock market right now.
