I'm not sure what else Oracle can say to prove that this is wrong, but
you can look at this from October:

You can also watch this video that covers Oracle's intentions with Sun
Ray from last month.

Hey Gents.
I work with one of Sun's Top Federal Resellers. We are also a VMware
Partner. Last week, I have had to address this matter on four
different occasions. While with one of those occasions the VMware Rep
flat out said this, that rep steered the potential end-user customer to
thin client solutions such as Samsung (big hah, right?). The other
three had VMware reps actually telling customers and our sales reps that
Sun will no longer support VMware View and will drop the Sun Ray
practice. Coincidence would have it that this thread had start around
the same time. I totally believe this is all FUD, since I have had
previous discussions with Oracle Reps who hinted at plans for future Sun
Ray solutions. I was then reminded about the VMware Partner Exchange
event in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. This is most likely where the FUD
began to take root.
Here's where I need some assistance. Is there an official statement, in
regards to the future of Sun Ray, that we can provide to the customer?
My company have a good number of opportunities for Sun Ray deployments.
The potential customers are now antsy, due to all the rhetoric about
the Sun's thin client direction. I have designed and deployed some
proof of concepts, for some of our clients. Some of these projects are
now endangered because these PoC's deploy Sun Rays and VMware View.

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.

This is totally and completely made up and couldn't be further from the

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.

Hi all, I just attended a VMware View 4 training this am in Dallas and they
were boasting the whole notion of thin client computing and the speed and
performance (yada, yada, yada) and I asked if it is supported on Sun Ray or
with the Sun Ray infrastructure, his answer was that since Oracle officially
announced it is discontinuing Sun Ray client server program this year, they are
NOT supporting Sun Sun Ray components in View 4.
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
<http://sun.com>, oracle.com <http://oracle.com> and didn't see any news about
that.
