First of all, this is very positive news for the Sun employees since most of them will keep their job. Where the products overlap, the Sun stuff (Glassfish, Netbeans, MySQL) seems to be pushed into the "web corner" with the Oracle Stuff (Weblogic, JDeveloper, Oracle DB) firmly remaining in the "enterprise corner". A lot better than being canceled altogether! It seems that the only huge product being killed so far is the planned Sun cloud (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/28/ sun_amazon_cloud_dead/). I am now convinced that being taken over by Oracle was better for Sun than being taken over by IBM and HP and is better for the industry as a whole because this will put some heat on IBM, HP and Dell. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
