Good question. Mr. Ellison has stated he wants primarily Solaris and Java. This means it might happen that SUN Hardware (T1/T2 ultrasparcs are lovely CPU though.) can be killed by low revenue and the X86 HW commodity movement on the server market like an unstoppable train. On the other hand, hardware+software is almost double pure profit.
What I really would like to see is this. A chance for Oracle to trickle down technologies from OpenSolaris to Linux or even merge them altogether.
