Have the two parted ways for good? Or is there any scope for renegotiations?
Sun Microsystems llegó a desplomarse hasta un 28% en el mercado europeo después que las conversaciones para ser comprada por IBM por US$7.000 millones fracasaron. El consejo de Sun, encabezado por el cofundador de la compañía, Scott McNealy (en la foto), informó el 4 de abril que IBM ponía término a las negociaciones, según informó un vocero a la agencia Bloomberg. Sun, desarrollador del lenguaje informático Java, rechazó una oferta de alrededor de 9,40 dólar por acción por ser demasiado baja, dijo la fuente, que declinó ser identificada porque las conversaciones son privadas.
