The deal between IBM and Sun collapsed, and Oracle wasted no time in swooping in to pick up the pieces with a deal to acquire Sun for $9.50 a share, or about $7.4 billion. What is surprising is that the deal is really not that much more than what IBM was offering. http://www.itworld.com/channel/66663/oracles-sun-acquisition-game-changer#comments Channel News Oracle Sun Microsystems Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:48:05 -0400 dblacharski 66663 at http://www.itworld.com Clients focused on products, not rumors, Sun exec says http://www.itworld.com/server-and-data-center/66364/clients-focused-products-not-rumors-sun-exec-says A Sun executive said customers are more focused on solving their IT problems than on acquisition rumors. http://www.itworld.com/server-and-data-center/66364/clients-focused-products-not-rumors-sun-exec-says#comments Server and data center News Sun Microsystems Mon, 13 Apr 2009 21:29:11 -0400 ITworld staff 66364 at http://www.itworld.com Doesn't anyone want to buy Sun? http://www.itworld.com/channel/65872/doesnt-anyone-want-buy-sun The talks between IBM and Sun Microsystems have broken down, and it looks like the $7 billion acquisition of Sun by IBM isn't going to happen.
