It's pretty hard to care about a company that craps all over it's development community. About all I expect these days is that they'll do more to make me recommend other choices in the enterprise than their products. But hey, that's just business right?
New license sleaze just means more reasons not to choose their products. They can't honor past agreements, so it's not reasonable to expect them to honor the new crap they roll out today a year from now. After all the legion of sleazy lawyers they employ need something to do with their time, and there's nothing better for them to do than figure out new ways to screw customers out of money. I have zero respect for Oracle's management. I don't trust them, I know too much about the companies internal culture of back stabbing to want to do business with them in the first place. Since it extends itself very frequently to customer relationships, as has been illustrated by their nasty treatment of the OpenSolaris community, well it's just more proof that doing business with this company is a serious mistake for anyone. What is obvious is that they're too self-involved to see the permanent harm they've done to their own market. Mistakes like that come from group think, and they can't be easily undone. I have 7 sparc boxes at home. Before the end of October, all but one of them will be sent to the dump. The delay is because of recycling logistics alone. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
