what with the NY Times and WSJ reporting on the proposed acquistion of Sun
by IBM, the transaction is assured. MySQL will enhance DB2, where MySQL is
the free version of DB2. The Sun Intel based servers augment the IBM X
servers. Sparc technology gets folded into future POWER chips. Sun's UNIX
OS
is merged with IBM's AIX and Linux. Java could be a big winner if IBM
decides to use it to compete against .NET/C# in the framework/managed code
space. IBM i is now an even smaller part of IBM than it has been. ILE and
RPG have nothing in common with Java and the JVM. Maybe if IBM purchases
PHP, IBM i becomes a box that runs turnkey PHP/MySQL/DB2 complete
solutions.
