Oracle and Sun Team Up to Provide .NET Alternative

Posted by Zonk on from the other-white-meat dept.

segphault writes "Ars Technica has an article about the new partnership between Sun and Oracle, designed to provide an alternative to .NET." From the article: "According to Ellison and McNealy, their mutual goal is the production of a complete Java-centric enterprise datacenter architecture that leverages Solaris 10 and Oracle's Fusion middleware. Designed specifically as an alternative to Microsoft's .NET technology stack, the new platform is competitively priced and based on robust frameworks."

    No? Why would I be interested in another .NET lock-in project. Open would be news, but this just sounds like more crap to tag onto my tech budget that could be done with any number of existing technologies.

    ...out in force again, I see.

    First of all, the spin in the original article is pure FUD - Oracle are claiming that Java gives them an advantage over SAP. The author's relating this to .NET is pure spite and FUD.

    BIIIG suprise that the slashbot crowd fall for it hook line and sinker. Get a clue you morons! Java is now the leading language for Open Source software yet you keep bleating about Sun as if they're the anti christ. They're a company that have open sourced a tonne of their IP, they give their tools away for free they also allow anyone to build a Java stack and yet you malcontent wankers still bleat about Sun being evil.

    Fuck the lot of you halfwit morons.
