I wonder if Cisco made a better secret offer?

Sun following the IBM deal collapse: Customer confusion en route

***************************EXCERPT*************************************

Sun Microsystems won’t be acquired by IBM after all. Now the explaining—mostly to customers and shareholders—really begins.

Sun will tell its customers that the IBM deal was just a slight detour and that the company’s plan to be a pivotal hardware, cloud computing and software provider remains intact. The big question is whether customers will buy Sun’s talk—not to mention Sun’s gear. For shareholders, Sun has to explain why it split over the IBM offer.

[Veto!]

I’m wondering about a better offer too.
