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.
Certs: GSTRT, GPEN, GCFA, CISM, CRISC, RHCE

    Ewwwwww. End of an era.

    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.

    Maybe Oracle will unbundle that stupid Yahoo toolbar from the JRE install >< I know it prompts before installing but its still annoying!

    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.
