As reported in multiple sources today, including Reuters, Sun has apparently rejected a purchase offer by IBM.
“Shares of Sun Microsystems Inc tumbled 22.5 percent after it rejected a $7 billion buyout bid from IBM, leaving the smaller server and software maker vulnerable to lawsuits from shareholders nervous about its viability as a stand-alone company.”
