Microsoft sent out late on September eleven an invite to a teleconference briefing tomorrow involving Sun and Microsoft. Here;s the wording:“Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Sun Microsystems,
Microsoft Office Home And Student 2010, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAVA) will hold a teleconference to discuss an expanded agreement between the two companies. John Fowler, executive vice president,
Microsoft Office 2007 Key, Systems Group, Sun; and Andy Lees, corporate vice president, Server & Tools Marketing and Solutions Group,
Office 2010 Home And Business Key, Microsoft, will host the call for press and analysts.”The pair made a sweeping partnership announcement in 2004,
Windows 7 License, that included everything from legal settlements, to patent exchanges to pledges of interoperability.So what will the September 12 Sun-Microsoft involve? I have no actual knowledge of what;s on the agenda. But I do have a few random guesses:[Poll=13]I;m voting for the Solaris option. By supporting Sun;s BrandZ virtualization initiative,
Microsoft Office Home And Business 2010, Microsoft could kill a few birds with one stone.Other guesses about what the dynamic Sun-Microsoft duo might announce before the final word comes down at 1 p.m. EST?Update on September 12: Word is out. The Sun-Microsoft partnership is primarily about virtualization. Microsoft supporting Solaris with its virtualization products and Sun supporting Windows with its own virtualization wares.
