Sun to Merge UltraSPARC with Fujitsu's SPARC64?

Posted by michael on Thursday October 23, 2003 @12:21AM from the dying-gasp dept.

Waldmeister writes "The Register has a story from a japanese source, that Sun and Fujitsu are planning to combine their Unix server businesses. Even if Sun doesn't comment on this, they acknowledge that Scott McNealy met Fujitsu's CEO this week. If this will happen, Fujitsu will get the bigger chunk of manufacturing and engineering. With the PrimePower systems outperforming Sun's SunFire systems for some time now, this sounds reasonable, too. And it gives Sun the chance to more resources to extend their Linux and x86 business." There's also a Reuters story.

I just love companies that treat their employment candidates like trained animals.
