Slow Oracle Merger Leads To Outflow of Sun Projects, Coders

An anonymous reader writes "Sun Microsystems might have had a chance if the Oracle merger had gone through quickly, but between the DoJ taking its time and the European Commission, which seems to get off on abusing American firms, just plain dragging its feet, that won't happen now. As Sun twists in the wind, unable to defend itself, and Oracle is unable to do anything until the deal closes, IBM is pretty much tearing Sun to shreds. By the time this deal closes, there won't be much left for Oracle. This is not how a Silicon Valley legend should end."

The European Union's economic policies are designed to benefit business owners in Europe

Nope, not really. The whole body of the EU economic policies is aiming at increasing (or at least maintaining) the workforce occupancy, in securing the social market from any disruption, even if it is legitimate and market-driven.

This means for the sake of keeping almost everyone employed, the businesses, the entrepreneurs and sometimes even the law are screwed every chance they get.
