Sun Exceeds Margin Goals in Q4 on Flat Sales
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Server and software maker Sun Microsystems closed out its fiscal 2007 at the end of June, and according to a report Sun's top brass made to Wall Street this week, the profit picture was better than expected even though overall sales were flat compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2006. Specifically, Sun had $3.84 billion in sales in what is usually its strongest quarter, up a tiny 0.2 percent. But gross margins rose by 4.4 percent to 47.2 percent, and net income was $329 million, a big change from the $301 million loss a year ago. READ MORE >

IBM Shows Off Web 2.0 Stuff with Lotus Quickr
by Alex Woodie
When you think of IBM, it's safe to say that software isn't the first thing that comes to mind. The company's very name, International Business Machines, conjures images of big honking servers toiling away in a darkened room, processing billions of transactions for the world's largest companies.
