A surprising move from Oracle: is buying Sun.
So, the hardware, Java, Solaris, VirtualBox and MySQL are now part of Oracle.
The less fortunate of these technologies will be MySQL, because it's been a pain in the ass of Oracle for a few years, but not anymore. A shame and a threat for all the sites that depend of MySQL DBMS. This means an urgent shift of DB support or preparing some budget to pay Oracle for the DB.
It seems that the other player that was after Sun was IBM, but they wait too much to decide, and ...well, business are business.
The question is: what is going to happend with sll the open source support that Java, mySQL and other technologies have from the community?
Seems like Microsoft will have some meetings in the next days. And what about Google and Android for example?
As an Oracle user, Yahoo can take some advantage.
