What helps to fuel this rumor is that Informix has files the appropriate papers with the SEC to either allow for an outside investor or some form of public offering (A note), to gain additional capital to help fund R&D. If you followed CNBC/WSJ, Netscape just cautioned that they are not going to hit their numbers, and why would MicroSoft buy Informix? Now if the rumor said Sun, then it might be plausible. However, these are just rumors, and if you are planning to purchase options or shares of Informix on these rumors, then I have a certain bridge in Brooklyn that you might want to purcahse! -Just a tip from your Uncle Mike.
