Will IBM and Sun merge?
Is the antitrust issue the main reason IBM and Sun have not merged?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I think that the difference in culture plays a part in the whole merger. Scott McNealy's attitude surely still rings though the company. And that flies in the face of Big Blue's culture.
I don't think it's a antitrust issue... plenty of other companies make servers.
I think Sun's stock/value is really attractive and it would give IBM an injection of energy. Unfortunately, I wouldn't like the merge. I think Sun is a great company and makes great devices. Sun has just lost their way since Scotty left.
By the way, Sun came up with cloud computing LONG ago with their Java clients. I think this would be a GREAT time to reintroduce those appliances again.

I don't think they will merge, they are two completely different corporations and corporate cultures.
What are the differences causing IBM and Sun delays in merging?
They are not agreeing on an acquisition or merger deal.

No, it has nothing to do with antitrust, it has all to do with management agreeing on a merger. Although there may be an antitrust concern, it's not the reason why the merger is not happening or delayed.
