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.)

    actually there are robust data center grade x86 servers, I make my living migrating Sun customers to them, and they're usually not running Solaris either.
