Hello Michael,
Thank you for making this point clear. My management fears quite the same, that Oracle feels itself uncomfortable with desktop services and that the SUN purchase was only for acquiring server knowledge and that Oracle more or less early will dump the SRSS and Desktop Workstation product line. Hints for this would be the change from the subscription licensing model back to fixed user numbers, whether you use this user count or not. That is quite expensive and management thinks of alternatives, maybe Windows thin clients on native RDP basis *barf*. Thank you for this, that took some 10 ton piece of rock falling from my shoulders.

As Brad said, it couldn't further from the truth. It happens all the time in this business. You have a bunch of parrots that just repeat what they are told from their management. They have no clue about what they are saying, and just try to spread FUD. I remember two years ago sitting in a room with a bunch of VMware guys who told us XEN was DOA when Citrix bought it, and that it was going to be to hard to merge it into their other products. Two years later, and I have customers that tell me that they are adopting XEN over VMware. Not because VMware is bad, but because it's extremely expensive, and there are solutions that can give them what they need for a fraction of the price. They know their days at the top are numbered, and their install base is slowly eroding, but I didn't think they would get that desperate, and start spreading this kind of FUD.

Oracle is significantly more interested in it's acquired desktop technologies than Sun execs ever were. View 4 works today with the Sun Ray connector for View if you follow the instructions for https access.

Did I miss something? Is this true that Larry Ellison said Sun Ray and Sun x86 servers are now being EOL by the end of 2010??? I spent the past hour surfing sun.com, oracle.com and didn't see any news about that.
