CNET:Why it Makes Sense
What the Register says about it: IBM in Talks to Buy Sun
CNET also asks: "Is it a Good Idea?"
Sun's future is offering an open-source stack of software led by MySQL at its core. IBM is all about open source. The two together make a lot of sense and IBM could pull MySQL, Lotus, OpenSolaris, and other parts together in a nice stack. In addition, Sun's open-source software needs distribution--it recently did a deal with HP. IBM has distribution galore.
