No WABI purist, Sun Microsystems Inc, it seems, has been quietly reference selling San Diego-based Xcelerated Systems Inc’s Liken Macintosh emulator for the last 18 months through its S3PO sales arm which last year accounted for about $600,000 of Xcelerated’s $1.8m in revenue. Now the pair will make it official. A contract is in the offing, probably in July, making it possible for Sun to deliver the stuff itself. Meanwhile, Xcelerated, which has been talking to IBM Corp, has an agreement with Hewlett-Packard Co in Europe whose third-party non Hewlett-Packard label unit, its Local Products Organisation, just cut a deal to handle Liken last month.
