Sun mulls selling Windows | |

Will it shift policy in time for Longhorn? Sun appearing to be warming to the idea of selling Windows on its servers. Tom Goguen, Sun's vice president of operating platform marketing, said on Friday that while Sun currently has no definite plan to strike a deal with Microsoft, the vendor will consider it if customers and partners think it's a good idea. "It depends on what our customers tell us to do," Goguen said. "If we find enough customers that say we want you to have that type of relationship with Microsoft, [we will]." This is a significant shift from Sun's usual line. Sun has certified Windows on its hardware based on x86 AMD processors. However John Fowler, executive vice president of Sun's Network Systems Group, said in April that Sun has no need to actually sell Windows because many customers already purchase the OS on their own and can get Windows support on Sun hardware through channel partners. | ||
