Well one added benefit to Oracle they Haven't lost Jonathan Giles he's a talented engineer on the JavaFX project. I'm just glad Oracle didn't kill that project. That would effectively put Java out of the running for modern RIA.. I mean JavaFX can handle most of not all Media formats... Mind you this has no real Impact on Solaris and is kind of off topic so i'll shut my face.
However one remaining factors is that they do still have talented people at Oracle... but the problem is can they keep them. Oracle is betraying sun by killing its innovation and this will ultimately cause the whole IT area to suffer. The bright minds at Sun invented most technology we use on the network today. Other companies copied and capitalized on those ideas which ultimately lead to suns demise. Had the economy not crumbled as it did, I suspect Sun would be enjoying a rich new influx of investor capital. again off topic commencing the shutting of face.
