Looks like Paul Andrews with the Seattle Times agrees with my assessment (see post below) of the Sun / Microsoft agreement. : "the truth behind Microsoft's and Sun's motivation may lie in two potent enemies, who have formed their own imposing alliance.

I'm talking about IBM and Linux. The strides they have made in serving large corporations and the Web networking markets have been striking and are still expanding. Any advances IBM and Linux make come at the expense of Sun's Unix and Microsoft's Windows platforms. "
