Sun Claims It Is Considering Buying Novell
Groklaw Aug 02 2004

[...]

    "Sun Microsystems is toying with the idea of buying Linux seller
Novell, saying that springing for the $2.64 billion company would hurt
rival IBM.

    "'With our balance sheet, we're considering all our options,' Sun
Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Schwartz said in an interview Sunday
regarding the possibility of acquiring Novell.

    'What would owning the operating system on which IBM is dependent
be worth? History would suggest we look to Microsoft for comparisons,'
he said."
