InfoWorld | at | by Mike

Sun Microsystems has found one more way to cozy up to users of Microsoft products without actually shipping the Windows operating system on its computers. For the next three months, Sun will offer Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCPs) a 35 percent discount on its line of Opteron servers and workstations, the company announced Wednesday. The promotion is designed to give Microsoft professionals the "unique opportunity" to sell and support Windows on Sun's PC systems, Sun said in a statement.
