Culturally, Sun and Oracle are (were?) a lot different. I've always heard Sun described as an engineering-driven company, closer to an academic place where people do can do their pet projects with little regard to the bottom line. Oracle, on the other hand, is much more focused on the business side, very competitive, and generally doesn't invent / build new stuff (outside their core database area) - they just buy technology when they need it. So it's easy to imagine how some Sun people don't feel at home. Sadly, the current economy helps Oracle retain Sun people. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
