if APLX has such a close relationship and is so dependant upon SUNW. Why did SUNW just buy their biggest competitor and what will this mean to sales. From the 10Q: "Substantially all of the Applixware licenses sold by the Company are for use on UNIX operating systems. As a result, the Company's financial performance is significantly dependent upon the continued market acceptance of this operating system and continued sales of UNIX-based workstations, particularly by Sun Microsystems. cbs.marketwatch.com As Applixware appears to be their only Linux product and SUNW have just bought the number 1 linux office suite (StarOffice)- where does that leave APLX? Is it possible someone knew of a buyout but picked the wrong company?
