Goodbye Sun Microsystems :(
I guess we, Sun people, will miss the website:
take a look at Sun website now:
Oracle 11g, Siebel, PeopleSoft | Oracle, Software. Hardware. Complete.

Hmm... Are any of the big *NIX companies around apart from IBM now? I've no idea who even owns SGI but their machines are Itanium/Xeon now anyway. Compaq is HP now and their servers are all x86/x64 as well. -

IBM is the biggest. Novel ==> SUSSE, Red Hat ==> Red Hat...HP UX is there...and now Oracle. -

I don't understand the politics behind this They actually bought the brand, why do they now rename all the stuff?
There are still a few links called Sun Server etc. I would just keep the name Sun for all the known stuff...
Just looked that up:
AIX - blades can be bought with Intel chipset
HP - all the "bigger" Servers don't use Intel
Sun/Oracle Server - still both -

We sure hope it's a good acquisition. Oracle has much more customers than Sun and is better in marketing than Sun. Let's wait and see what'll happen in the next two yrs. -

I hope so too. I would have preferred to see IBM gobble up Sun, but someone had to before they drove themselves out of business.
It'll be interesting to see what happens on the MySQL front.
