Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Oracle acquires Sun
Hey guys,
About MySQL, I'm not really sure what's likely to happen, maybe
they'll kind of mix MySQL technologies into Oracle DBMS [purely
guesswork - same applies to OpenSolaris and Oracle Linux... maybe] As
for Java, I believe it'll remain open-source together with NetBeans.
They'll probably extend Java, increasing its capabilities.
But the best thing is to wait and see. I don't think they'll do
anything bad to these already popular tools and technologies.. :)
Me.
