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'.

I think the economy does have something to do with it. In my own recent purchases, I have gone with Dell and Red Hat over Sun and Solaris (which I actually prefer) for no other reason than cost.
If the economy wasn't tight, I don't think cost would have been the deciding factor and I would have gone with Sun servers.
