“But the Sun cloud computing announcement also coincides with IBM’s virtual desktop strategy that they brought to market late in 2008, bundling Lotus and other services to effectively strike at Microsoft. The IBM strategy, as reported in eWeek, would not only threaten Microsoft’s desktop software, but delivers what many in the hardware manufacturing space have feared – cloud computing for the corporate enterprise IT market.”
Since Sun probably needs an acquisition more than IBM, this was quite an interesting move.
