Tim: Oracle doesn't give a damn about the majority of people, their business model is directed at corporate sites. The IS dept I work under is all hot about whatever it is virtualization they got. They had to hire back a netadmin who had left (a good guy) to do it all. The downside for me is I wind up having to deal with problems outside of Oracle on technology I know little about, like when the VM's get pretzled up on an MS server and half the customer service department goes "the database is locked!" and fend off things like "oh, now we can get these disk drives that propagate every block change, and be ready to instantly bring up DR 500 miles away, instead of that standby db stuff." Can you say ORA-600? Virtualization; Feh. Tom: They can’t own a market, anti-trust laws will mess them up.

With both being based off of Xen, I find Sun's management tools and interface much easier to use and more powerful than Oracle's. I think Oracle can merge the two and also help fill in the gaps. The same thing for Identify Management, good synergies there. Oracle may change the licensing for OpenSolaris to GNU so that DTrace, ZFS, and the Solaris Kernel and Solaris features can get merged into Linux to create a super OS. Java? Enough Said, they will further integrate. Acquisitions up for Oracle Informatica (They would own the ETL market) Citrix (They can then own XEN and get the other Citrix IP). and Red Hat!

After the Oracle - Sun affair, I'm wondering what will happen with VirtualBox (and MySQL too). Cheers. Carlos. Hi Tim.
