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.
Unless there's a little collusion in the works and IBM has already
worked out an understanding with Oracle. Of course, there's always that
guy on the grassy knoll...
