After weeks of negotiations, IBM reportedly is eyeing a $9.55-per-share buyout for Sun Microsystems, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. Such a price would value the deal at roughly $7 billion and offer Sun investors nearly double the price of the stock before reports surfaced earlier this month that the parties are in buyout talks. A report in The New York Times, meanwhile, notes the parties are discussing a purchase price of $9.50 a share. In either case, Sun's investors haven't seen the hardware maker's stock trade at those levels since August. Last spring, Sun was trading at a 52-week high of $16.37 a share.

1 - Sun partner program is hard to get into
2 - Do you know any company that is a partner that sells hardware to the home user? The company I attempted to setup with sun hardware fell over because of .... well their singapore call center sorry.... open source applications are free to include in installed OEM products without asking every developer for permission to include it for free....
3 - I live in new zealand all the sun partners are impossible to work with unless your a big company.
Geni slow, have to have a full account to buy or even inquire about price of products. Suppliers ingram micro are really good but you cant buy direct.
