If Oracle truly has no interest in the technology, I really hope they'll sell it on. Perhaps some other solutions offer what I need, which is a persistent desktop (i.e. I can move between home and work without logging in/out) to a Solaris CDE session, and that really is it.
Maybe the Wyse stuff can do that, or nComputing etc. but Sun Ray just seemed to be a no-BS solution, which basically said it's a really long video cable, keyboard and mouse into your server. If someone else bought it, then maybe we'd see support for AIX and stuff too, which would be interesting.
