If all this works out, then IBM will be one of the luckiest companies in the world. eWeek has learned a lot of details regarding the IBM-sun acquisition talks, as well as that today, the Sun board is holding another meeting to discuss the talks. The outcome could be that IBM would buy Sun after all - but at a much lower price since Sun's shares fell 25% after it had broken off the negotiations with IBM.

A Dell acquisition makes no sense. Dell is a hardware vendor with a very limited software footprint. For the mountain of debt they would have to acquire to buy Sun, they would have to figure out what to do with Sun's massive software portfolio and employees. Open source projects that depend on Sun engineers would also be in jeopardy.
