When dealing with anything with Oracle.. one has to look at where the money is. Oracle will say a lot of things but what they do will be what gets Larry Ellison another yacht. [I say this because this quote seems very close to their Oracle focusing on building its own browser, and other items]. My guess is that Oracle will focus on getting Fujitsu dealing with Sparc and working on Solaris for it. The operative quote on it is "[Apple and Cisco] enjoy very high-margins because they do a good job of designing their hardware and software to work together." I do not see this as a we will help Linux compete on it. > http://www.osnews.com/story/21458/Oracle_To_Invest_in_SPARC_Wants_to_Be_Like_Apple_Cisco > > This would be nice because we could (hopefully) see some SPARC > workstations come back into play allowing people to become interested > in and contribute to the project once more.
