We'll see... I dunno... I can easily see Ellison shoring up the product
line into an incredibly competitive package express. And, A LOT more
Solaris is used and taught in schools than AIX (DEFINITELY more than
iSeries!!!!). And LOTS of academia uses solaris and spark units...

....and then there's a little thing called Java...which I think Sun owns, at
last check.... :)

Oh this is going to be fun to watch....

DR2 - starting to pack for Reno...

Frankly, I think this is an incredibly bright move on Oracle's part, and
going to cost IBM big time in terms of AIX sales.
