I have been sad to see the demise of Sun. They were one of my favourite companies and were the leading innovators of UNIX. They gave so much to the industry and redefined it in so many ways.
With the new of the demise of OpenSolaris, I have deleted my OpenSolaris partition at work and deleted my VirtualBox VMs of OpenSolaris 2009.06 x64. It looks like they will have a Solaris 11 Express in the future but I'm not sure if I will try that.
The Register: OpenSolaris killed off
Oracle's attitude seems to have turn sour with news like this :
BBC News: Oracle sue Google
Will they be suing MS next for .NET ? which is just a Windows-specific copy of Java and the JVM.
How safe are MySQL, OpenOffice and VirtualBox?
