I don't know how accurate this assessment is, but it doesn't sound
too good:

"[...]Sun's latest woes have ramped up speculation that one of the most
storied names in computing could be snapped up dirt-cheap by a bigger
rival. Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., and Dell Inc. are all possible
suitors."
...
"Sun's share price gives the company a market value of roughly $3
billion. Yet at the end of September, Sun had $3.1 billion in cash on
hand. The gap indicates extreme pessimism about the company's
prospects."
