Since Oracle just reverted the name of Sun Java System Web Server to one of its original names, iPlanet Web Server, seems if anything they're trying to preserve the old planetary marketing names for Sun products... If that actually happened, that demonstrates that while Oracle may do better

If anything, at least iPlanet Web Server is much easier to say, and rolls off the tongue better than Sun Java System Web Server. Plus, I took an eCommerce class for iPlanet at a SUN education training center in Dallas years ago. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

At least IBM doesn't make it IBM AIX, IBM WebSphere, IBM Tivoli, IBM DB2, IBM FileNet, IBM Lotus, etc. I'm going to vomit if they keep making everything Oracle this or Oracle that. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss

Oracle didn't develope any of them, they bought SUN. My plastering their name on everything they are giving the impression they created it. Big difference. And Oracle is really paying you to scour IBM sites to refute an opinion? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
