Oracle To Increase Investment In SPARC and Solaris

Posted by kdawson on from the just-so's-you-know dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Slashdot community has recently questioned what Oracle will do with Sun hardware if and when Oracle's acquisition of Sun closes. And it seems that speculation about the future of SPARC hardware has been common among Slashdot commenters for years. That said, it seems newsworthy that Oracle is going out of their way with some aggressive marketing directed at IBM to state clearly their plans to put more money than Sun does now into SPARC and Solaris." MySQL is not mentioned in this ad, perhaps because (as Matt Asay speculates) the EU is looking closely into that aspect of the proposed acquisition.

    I knew that was what Linux was really about these days. It explains why, after its ten years and its billions of hours of development, it's still in the state it's in. Bazaar, indeed! Thank you so much for the corroboration.

    Maybe we can get him to swear on his pilot's license? He seams to really love that.

    The EU is a bureaucratic douchebag-ridden cesspool of idiocy. Seriously, On what basis would they prevent this? Antitrust? Give me a fucking break, the Database market is broad and deep and this won't a monopoly make.
