Okay, basically your saying Sun is becoming synonymous with with e-commerce/internet and is a popular first target for software vendors; next to NT etc. Good points, but the headaches and integration overhead of an acquisition of that size would give even the most agressive CEO some serious heartburn. They would have two chip lines, two UNIX'es, stuck supporting Java; integration and operational nightmare. IBM has been moving ahead quite well without a Sun acquisition; I doubt it is a card in there hand. Worst case they would port Solaris to the RS6000 hardware and be-gone with AIX.
