Really? I would have thought that in retrospect it's clear that Google should not have bought Sun. If they lose in the courts, they're still rather unlikely to end up paying $7 billion in damages... Really Google wouldn't have done anything with Sun except for the patents. No use for the hardware or services business, no use for Solaris, limited use for controlling Java, etc.

There is a huge value in preventing year-long problems and just moving on. Google is in the business of making people use the web. More Solaris servers, more Java applications (I have some issues with that, but let's play along this line) can only be a good thing for them.
