I’m not saying there might not be other good reasons for them to want Sun’s technology (and technologists – more to the point) but I think that cloud on its own is not good enough reason.

Sun is a once great company, and I enjoyed my time working for them. I think they need a massive restructuring of management to survive – I hope they can do that somehow.
