‘Oracle wins unconditional EU approval for Sun buy’ by Reuters 21 January 2010. Not that anyone thinks that EU will reject Oracle bids, but something about it just make me feel uncomfortable, somehow I was hoping that EU being EU will take their time to clear their final hurdle ( is it subconscious loyalty to my company? =D )
That said. It might not be so bad competition. Given their unwavering sales tactics, the buying of Sun might just escalate the exodus of customers who are tired of the increasing premium Oracle demands. For those who fear that they might be turning Mysql and Java to the darkside, it is just not going to happen - at least for now. The only thing that interests me is how going vertical with this move will benefit their bottom line. It will be interesting to see how they are going to integrate their products in the next few quarters - I suspect we should be seeing some interesting development on their saas business. Sun servers business however should be BAU for now.
May the force be with you
