Posted by timothy on from the first-the-pro-side dept.

But as Paul Krill observes, Oracle has been steadfast in upgrading Sun-derived technologies — and making them profitable, which should mean they will stick around a long time."

    As a university you have been paying nickel and dime prices for your products and you will be better off with Linux anyway. Oracle knows this full well and they will not miss your piddling contract.

    Apple is not about enterprise.

    That was my point.

    It's about selling expensive trinkets to teenagers, nouveau riche, and "me too"ers.

    That's a pretty stupid comment.
