Sun was undervalued and even at the price IBM appears to be offering, Sun is a good value.

Why? Sun still has elaborate R&D, strong balance sheet, multiple revenue streams. Granted, it had overpaid for many acquisitions(I am looking at you MySQL) and hasn't figured out exactly how to leverage all that OSS into income.

"Elaborate" does seem like the right word here.
