06:38 SUNW Sun Microsystems: IBM agrees to modify its software for Sun line - NY Times (3.69 ) The NY Times reports that Sun Micro got a much-needed boost on Mon when IBM said it would convert its software products to work with Sun's Solaris OS on a new line of Sun computers. Sun is counting heavily on the success of the new line, code-named Galaxy and designed by Andreas Bechtolsheim, a Sun co-founder. It is built around the new Opteron dual-core microprocessor from AMD, designed for high-end corporate applications. Sun had been trying to seal a new alliance with IBM for the last year, and execs at both co's said Mon that pressure from large customers had been a central factor in forcing the renewed alliance. "To be honest, we've had a little bit of a chill in our IBM relationship," said Jonathan I. Schwartz, Sun's president and COO.
