After many agonising months and all the uncertainty Oracle have finally bought Sun.
the websites are currently changing over, most of the Solaris branding has changed to Oracle (but annoyingly they seem to have stretched all the old images which looks terrible in my browser)
According to news web sites I've been keeping an eye on, sun are not going to be downsizing, they are going to be recruiting (about 2000 people).
They are keeping "Oracle Solaris" (it will take time to get used to seeing that), OpenOffice, Java and MySQL all as ongoing products.
They're not going to be getting rid of any of their virtualisation products (That means you XVM and VirtualBox), at least for now.
in fact the only thing that I can see going in the near future is Suns version of "the cloud" and Suns version of "sourceforge" ... which is probably no bad thing really.
any thoughts?
