Oracle buying Sun means: Keep Solaris because they have always wanted an OS to call their own Keep Java because a lot of their existing customers use it. Outside chance they hang on to OpenOffice because there is no love lost between Oracle and Microsoft and anything Larry Ellison can do to needle MS is gravy. Sell off the hardware division because if there was money in it Sun would have not been up for sale. Everything else is toast. Number one activity at Sun for the immediate future is resume updating.
Excellent summary Adrian. This plus Joshua's observation that 50+ or so Million dollars that MySQL will bring in might not be too exciting for Oracle could actually mean that the SUN might set down on MySQL soon enough..
