Oracle completed the acquisition of SUN.
We need to see in future how Oracle goes around deciding on the vast technology and portfolio resources that are with SUN. Which products are prioritized, which products are going to be dropped, which will be re-bundled. It will be difficult to satisfy everyone, customers, employees and itself. The next few months will be news for the technical prints and journals around, speculating and analyzing.
But somewhere deep in heart you feel that if a giant like Sun, that drove technology for so many years, not being there gives you the sense of how technology companies are so un sure. What about the small companies? You are everything today and nothing the next day. An important lesson to be learnt. University scientists create technology and the universities are there long after the scientists have left. Scientists in the Companies create technologies and the companies are long gone before the Scientists leave.
