$10B+ of business. Jini & other intellectual property. Links to the telecomm, ISP, and semiconductor industries. Top quality people.

Its true its not obvious why IBM would want to buy Sunw - other than an expensive way to buy out the main competition.

One possible reason I can see is that SunW is gaining critical mass in the internet arena. All the tools and infrastructure are being build around Sun equipment and IBM could be late to the party .
