Computer maker Sun and Web search company Google announced an alliance on Tuesday that could mark a first stop toward challenging Microsoft Corp's dominance of the computer users' desktops reports ABC news.
Google Inc. will promote Sun Microsystems Inc's word processing and office software products while Sun will include the Google Toolbar for Web searches as an option when consumers download Java for the desktop (http://java.com).
Analysts say a closer look at the Sun/Google alliance shows that competitive concerns with Microsoft are overblown reports Forbes.com.
Google was vague on details of how it might use Sun software in its products, with CEO Eric Schmidt saying simply, "This is a very significant deal."
"I think it's a pretty natural partnership here," said Scott McNealy, chief executive of Sun Microsystems.
