To close on the story , Oracle SPARC and Solaris is dead. Of course the spin to story (for customers) is that they will be releasing minors, but that's just running in a wind with candle. If I were a customer, I would get off from Solaris , and... — read more

I learned to be an SA with Solaris, starting in 1995. Over the years I watched it's decline as Linux matured. I also learned that the open source community was way more valuable as an SA when it came to fixing bugs, getting help, etc.

Heard from reputable source te site will likely be cleared out of HW all sparc and x86 dev to go to SCA. Timing is still in work.

Anyone heard more about this?

The theee stooges are a total disaster for oracle, running the business into the ground. Time to get rid of these overpaid morons.

Have people of Asian Indian decent favored their own at Redwood shores? What is the opinion out there? Thanks.

The crazy people that said that Oracle bought Sun just to shut it down and use the patents to sue Google are looking pretty non-crazy now. I guess once the lawsuit was lost (and boy was it expensive) the shutdown was inevitable.

So how's the journey to $10bn going? Easy pickings or tough slug? What's your experience and how do customers like oracle cloud ?

Oracle at the bottom - why is that ? What a surprise isn't it - LOL!
