		kiba on April 5, 2009 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I.B.M. Withdraws $7 Billion Offer for Sun Microsys... For some reason I have a bad feeling for this if it goes through. Now that this offer is over, I feel relieved. I supposed I rather have more companies than a few big fat companies.

The offer isn't necessarily "over". Withdrawing the offer is probably a negotiating technique. Sun is trying to sell, and IBM is reminding Sun that it's probably the only interested buyer.

Regardless of this offer, Sun will stop existing as it is now anyway, its inevitable. I don't like it either.
