NEW YORK (CNN/Money) – Internet search giant Google and network computing company Sun Microsystems have entered into a multi-year agreement to distribute Sun’s software technologies, a move some say is meant to offer users an alternative to Microsoft products

Well just an analogy but I mean lets face it, Google joins forces with Sun and then what? Dont ask me, but Sun, the developers of Java for goodness sake ?? Do you smell something fishy? They even refused to disclose what the pact was all about, as stated in the news and I quote

Both Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Sun CEO Scott McNealy kept mum on the specifics of the partnership, apart from announcing a deal to distribute the popular Google toolbar, which allows users to search both the Web and their desktops through Sun’s Java Runtime Environment, a software package that needs to be installed on a machine in order to run Java technology-based applications. As part of the deal, users who download the JRE software package will have the option of downloading the Google Toolbar.

Well but the question still remains, is Microsoft in trouble? Well we cant really say much as at now but time would tell. For Futher reading, visit the source @ http://money.cnn.com/2005/10/04/technology/google_sun/index.htm?cnn=yes .
