Hi JDN - So now that we will have an e-commerce sales and consulting/programming division, just how will the analysts peg a valuation to this "new" business?

My guess is that these new sales will generate much higher margins, more like what CA and Oracle get. Do we know what the split is for AOL and SUNW is (ie. 50:50??). Or does AOL make the big consulting bucks and SUNW just sells the hardware?

Also, I did not see any estimate for future sales amounts. If you discover any additional financials or estimates regarding this new partnership, please post.

EKS

TRANSLATION: SUNW is (and is going to be) a great place to be.

Sun's stock also rises

Update: Like a jolt of java, Sun Microsystems' recent deal with online giant America Online has helped fuel a three-fold jump in its stock price--pushing it to historic highs.
