62% of Sun's Stockholders Vote For Oracle Deal

Posted by timothy on from the well-'larry-ellison'-just-has-a-nice-ring-to-it dept.

Moon Workstation writes "In an special meeting held at Santa Clara, CA, 62% of Sun's stockholders voted for the acquisition by Oracle. As a result of this Sun's stock will be taken from the stock market as of Friday. The acquisition is still waiting for approval by the US Department of Justice and anti-trust offices in other countries. The planned acquisition is source for rumors and speculation about the future of different Sun products, like OpenSolaris, CPUs and others." (MySQL among them.)

    It's funny how we confuse democracy with capitalism sometimes. But "1 person, 1 vote" is a whole different ballgame than "$1, 1 vote." I am not saying Sun should be a democracy. But seriously, sit back for a minute and imagine how horrible a capitalist government would be.

    Sun were the arrogant assholes. They rode out their name in the dot-com heyday not really innovating.

    Oracle offered way more than Sun's worth. Take the money and run.

    Who cares, even if they do. PostgreSQL is better.
