A new article at All Things D might confirm what a lot of people
suspected/feared about the Oracle takeover of Sun.

http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20100607/oracle-ok-so-maybe-we-are-cutting-sun-to-profitability/

" “We’re not cutting Sun to profitability, we’re growing Sun to
profitability.”

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said that back in January as the company
closed its $7.4 billion acquisition of Sun. Interesting, then, to read
Oracle’s latest 8-K filing in which the company adds up to $825
million in restructuring costs to the buyout–some 80 percent of them
evidently earmarked for employee severance payments at Sun’s European
and Asian outposts. The company had initially projected about $325
million in restructuring costs for the Sun integration, so this is a
significant increase."

Everybody panic?
