    Where is the link to page 3?
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        They have even changed http://java.sun.com/ to be branded with oracle.

        I still put www.javasoft.com to get to that site and that URL has been gone for nearly 10 years.

        it will be intersting to see which products get dropped in the next few months.

          I think MySQL will disappear like Sun Linux did a few years back like it never happened....

          Also a bit worrying for me since I do Sun IdM I think the Sun offering will go and be replaced with OAM etc, but the Oracle stuff is easier to work with. I reckon Sun DS will stay since it's already on the road to OpenDS anyway. Be interesting.

          I do hope Oracle will push Sun's best product lines in my view (apart from DS and SPARC in general), SunRay and VDI, and SSGD, formerly Tarantella. TTA is infinitely preferable to Citrix, the worst piece of software sold by anyone, anywhere as an enterprise product....

            You mean totally, so all those freeloaders that don't want to sell a kidney for Oracle or SQL Server will have to find something else?

            I don't think they'll be happy having to use SQL Server Express.

                Well I meant from Sun's so-called portfolio, I still have a copy of Sun Linux 4.0 - why start at 4.0, never even got to 4.1, Sun try and reject a lot....

                I think;

                Oracle:

                DB, IdM stuff, RAC, Financials

                SUN;

                Hardware, Solaris, LDAP, Sunray, SSGD

                Not sure;

                Appserver? Think it might be Glassfish. VM's? Got to be Sun VxM and VDI - it's early days for that but it's worth it, at the moment Sunray/SSGD/VDI/VMware works a treat, VMware could be replaced with Sun VxM pretty soon...

                  Phew, at least after reading that I know I'm not as geeky as some think, I haven't a clue what most of those acronyms mean! SUN, RAC, DB ...

                  Cheers for making me feel human again.

                    And yet, they still haven't corrected the text here.
