Scott McNealy turning blue, as IBM corners the server market?

I don’t like to mention rumors in AskWoody (well, not too often, anyway), but it looks like the rumored acquisition of Sun Microsystems by IBM may be under way. (See the NY Times article.) At $7,000,000,000, it’s no bargain, but the merged company will boast more than 40% of the server market.

That can’t be good news for Microsoft.
