Sonki: Here's how Sun benefits per the latest AP wire story:

Sun Microsystems, in turn, would benefit in two ways: It would
take control of Netscape's business-level ''server'' software, and
it would enjoy widespread distribution among AOL's 13 million
subscribers of its Java technology for running Internet programs.


Also the story calls this deal "a stunning alliance that would change the landscape of the nation's technology industry".

Will it make SUNW go up or down? Does it turn SUNW into a ".com" style internet-bubble stock :-)? I guess we'll get to see! But I'll tell you, getting AOL to distribute Netscape Navigator with Java instead of IE to its huge and growing customer base sure looks like a pretty good boost to Sun and Java from where I sit.

Supposedly the deal may be announced early Monday.
