Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq “MSFT”) and Sun Microsystems Inc. (Nasdaq “JAVA”) today announced that Sun has signed on as a Windows Server® OEM. Additionally, Sun and Microsoft will collaborate to further enable deployment of Windows Server on Sun x64 systems. “Today’s announcement is another example of Microsoft’s commitment to 64-bit computing,” said Bob Muglia, senior vice president, Server and Tools Business at Microsoft. “The Sun hardware platform is an excellent foundation for Windows®-based enterprise solutions such as Microsoft Virtual Server, Microsoft SQL Server™, Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) Edition. Our customers will have an additional choice of Windows Server OEM partners with Sun.” “Sun is now a single source for today’s leading operating systems — Solaris and Windows — on the industry’s most innovative x64 systems and storage products. Customers can now take advantage of the virtualization benefits of Windows and Solaris on Sun’s energy-efficient x64 systems,” said John Fowler, executive vice president, Systems Group, Sun Microsystems. “Microsoft’s recognition of our x64 systems and storage is a testament to the superior system design at the heart of our product portfolio.” |

| What could anyone possible post on this subject that would force removal? |

| #2: I saw the comment. It was comment spam. Some person advertising their own blog. |

| This is nice to see - both have a ton to offer one another and together, they can offer a lot of value to customers. I wonder how they'll segment products for the market? |

| Sun is now a 1 stop shop for Windows, Linux, and Solaris, running on x64 and SPARC architectures (obviously no Windows on SPARC). This should work well for them, I hope. |

#5, I think it will and I think they are going to come up with a lot of surprises - a lot of multi-boot stuff that will appeal to a great many people here. I'm kinda jazzed up about this and really happy to see, well... a happier ending [er... beginning] to this story.
This could end up being really cool and I bet a couple of guys on both sides of this sat down, laughed themselves about sick and then said, "hey, what if... what if we worked together... I mean, really worked together?" The other guy's laughter trailed off for a moment.... and they both burst into laughter again - signaling that they had agreed to do just that - work together to make some and many things great. It'd make for a great scene. HW/SW virtualization is going to make for one very interesting space with these two in the kitchen together. The interop team between the two would be one very fun place to hang out in. |
