Don't hassle Dale about his biggest talent: picking out 100% content-free anti-Sun articles. His secret is that he doesn't read them before he posts them. Don't spoil that for him :-).

By the way, to be completely honest, the concern brought up in that article is valid IMHO. Look back throughout the last decade in the industry at attempted "alliances" and "consortia" and "partnerships" among and between computer companies. To say that it's hard to get them to work is an understatement. Name two that have. There are always differences in cultures and product release processes, engineering NIH, arrogant executives who have figured out that their Mercedes is evidence of their infallibility, and etc. etc. In other words, a whole new list of problems tacked on to the already long list that screws up corporations even prior to any attempted "partnerships".

An analyst who questions on general principles whether an artificially grafted combination like this can create a profitable business in a finite amount of time, ain't just whistlin' Dixie.
