Sun again

For IBM read Oracle.  IBM’s bid to buy Sun that  I blogged about a while back fell through and it has now been announced that Oracle is to buy them instead. A more natural match in my view, for what its worth.  A lot of Oracle systems already run on Sun hardware and both are industry standards for high quality.  There must still be concerns for rival companies like Sybase, many of whose systems also run on Sun hardware,  as well as the Open Source alternatives, however.
