Windows May Come to Sun Servers
Once thought unthinkable, Sun may eventually offer Microsoft's operating systems on its servers if customers ask for it. This is according to comments made last week by operating platform vice president Tom Goguen.
Currently, the company has no such deal with Microsoft; however, the two companies have taken great strides to work out their differences. "It depends on what our customers tell us to do," Goguen says. If enough customers want the operating system preinstalled on Sun servers, the company would persue a licensing deal with the company. Microsoft officials would not comment on such a deal.
Sun previously said that customers were free to install Windows on their servers on their own as support for running the OS on its hardware was available from company partners.
