There was plenty of speculation earlier today about what a joint announcement from Google and Sun Microsystems could mean to the world of computing. The most popular guess, turned out to be mostly right. It looks like Google will be partnering up with Sun to help promote Sun's OpenOffice and Java software systems. The move will contribute to the ongoing battle between Google and Microsoft as OpenOffice has the potential to issue a serious challenge to MS Office given the proper backing and marketing.
"Working with Google will make our technologies available more broadly, increase options for users, lower barriers, and expand participation worldwide," Scott McNealy, chief executive of Sun Microsystems said in a statement.
