I've noticed that the IBM of recent years will happily "bless" any
product/company that can produce more revenue for IBM. If you have a good
product and can potentially generate additional sales for IBM without
stealing too much share from their flagship products, then they're all for
it. I don't think they want to rule the world anymore, but will happily
jump into bed with anyone who does. :) Personally i think it's a smart
move.

And for the Sun shops who know (love?) Veritas and are considering a move
to AIX, Veritas on AIX would probably be a big plus. JMHO...
