Re: [SacJUG Discussion] Oracle buying Sun

The rumor I saw on Twitter was that the JCP was going away regardless so it may be a moot point.

Out of all the major players I can think of I feel best about Oracle owning Sun.  They seem to come from similar mindsets.

The funny part is if this had happened back in 2000 the dotcom CTOs would have had a much easier job.  The  Weblogic and Oracle running on top of an E10K could have been purchased from one place!  
They could have called it the trendy startup special.

Regards,
Daniel
