IBM to buy SUN??

My dad called me this morning about the headlines today that say "IBM to buy SUN."  This took me buy surprise as it has obvious direct implications for me.  While this is possible ... I think this may be more of a marketing move to raise interest and sales in a bottom scrapping market.  The companies run parallel in a lot of their directions (opensource, servers, unix, green initiatives), they also have completely difference business strategies that an acquisition of this magnitude would come with way too much overhead.  While I am not a business guy, it would be interesting to see how the brass @ Microsoft would react to this.  Because if it works MS could be the next acquisition for big blue.
