>>> <<The only company big enough to take over SUNW is IBM.>> How about, dare I say it, MSFT? It would be one big fight, but MSFT might have enough money. Don't they have a lot of cash stashed away? <<< It would be a big fight. But taking over SUN serves Microsoft no value. The only reason that M$ would want to take over SUN is to liquidate it. M$ is not into hardware, but if they start selling Sparc based servers it will only anger their ally - Intel. A much better take over target would be SGI; they are weaker financially at this point. I am not sure if Microsoft has enough cash, but they do have a much larger market captialization than SUN. Which means that they can do a stock swap merger. But again, IMHO the only other plausible candidate to take over Sun is IBM. - Chung
