SUN Microsystems Dropping profits and stock prices have analysts speculating that Sun could be a target for either acquisition or a restructuring in which the company would sell off parts of the business and focus on a smaller set of technologies. In a July 31 report, the 451 Group analyst firm raised the possibility of Sun being acquired: 'Sun's sunken stock price creates a relative bargain considering its roughly $4 billion cash on hand, sizeable intellectual property and patent portfolio, and of course, its respected technology and products'.

"In 12 months, Sun will not be the same company it is now,"



I think sun in twelve months will be better then ever. Suns excs sees that Open source is the wave of the future and they are reorganizing the company to support the OSS model more, they opened up solaris,java, and purhcased virtualbox. no i don't Sun will be sold with these kind of changes are going on.
