What would IBM move to? Why would Java be any different with Oracle
from
IBM's perspective?

I may be a little bad for some sun products, but in whole it would
be great for java vs .net platform
Oracle is second largest software vendor.
I am afraid this may cause other companies like IBM to move away
from Java platform

Hello everyone I just read at the german Heise site that Oracle has
bought Sun for 7.4 billion dollars.
I wonder what the implications in the long run will be.
My personal thought is that it might finally become possible that
the RI and MyFaces can merge...
Java: Probably business as usual but maybe it will become more open!
OpenOffice will probably be maintained with the business as usual.
Same goes for OpenSolaris/Solaris
But I see a rather black future for Netbeans and MySQL...
(I would be sad if Netbeans would go away the IDE is simply excellent)
Also the proposed IceFaces merger as base for a future JSF-Sun
component set might be now dead in the light of Oracle having
already something in their portfolio!
As for the Sun hardware division that is a big question, but I
personally guess Oracle will try to keep it alive and make it a cash
cow again!
