I have conclude Oracle focus is large business application and possibly the hardware to run them. Everything else does not have enough profit margin for them. I though the Sun Ray and Solaris were good products and Oracle is destroying both of them. They have not discontinued Solaris but they sure have been able to severely decrease the number of people using it.
