Well here is the big news pals.... Oracle acquires Sun Micro systems
for 7.4 billion dollars. Well as far as i know IBM was a strong contender in buying the open source giant , but all of a sudden i see the database monstrous company has acquired it.
Well i guess its an auspicious start for oracle in the field of server and storage markets .. and will become much more stronger and competitive to its rival companies HP and IBM.
well oracle which uses open solaris as a leading platform for their database development . and now with acquisition of sun oracle can optimize their database performance and make it much more worthfull....
But the bottom line is wat about the open source programmers in the world , the people who completely rely on sun microsystems which caters their need and helps in upliftment of opensource programming .will oracle still act in the same conventional way and promote open source or it will completely focus on its marketing and business strategies..?
Well when linus tolvard started the open source agenda and largely worked on it .. many people had followed his obligations and made it incumbent for themselves even though the part at the movement was pretty much obscure and now when the open source is emerging as a threat to these software companies ... well they are trying a different ways to just stop it i guesss......
