Oracle Kills Virtual Iron

rhathar writes in with news that Oracle is killing off the products of Virtual Iron, a month after purchasing the company. Reports say that all but 10 to 15 staff were let go. The Reg article speculates that Oracle bought VI for its technology and considers its customers and partners expendable. When the Sun purchase finalizes, Oracle will be in possession of three separate virtualization technologies all based on Xen. "In a letter to Virtual Iron's sales partners, Oracle says it 'will suspend development of existing Virtual Iron products and will suspend delivery of orders to new customers.' One partner said, 'So basically, anyone that built their hosting infrastructure on VI... is now totally in the s–.'"

Poor language does not indicate any one thing, douchebag.
And no, Mr. I'm Better Than You, this has absolutely nothing to do with the ads, which do not bother me at all. This has to do with piss-poor broken layout that we've been complaining about for months.
If you're going to get involved in an argument, it helps to have a basic understanding first. Otherwise, regardless of how clean and pleasant your language appears, you will still look like a fucking idiot.
