But I think Oracle would be insane not to promote MySQL, as it steals away from MS SQL, and offers upgrade/migration path to robust enterprise Oracle and also ERP solutions. We'll see... 2) Solaris could be dumped in favor of Linux and certification. I think they go both Linux and Solaris. 3) Java is important at Oracle. 4) Open Office is the mallet to bash MS with. I wonder how iPlanet (ex-Netscape) web and email servers fit into things, if they do at all. I'd be curious to see if Oracle responds to mobile computing market with embedded solutions, something Java addresses, maybe without refined tools that Adobe and Microsoft have, and see if it responds to an embedded database solution for mobile computing. 1) Remember PeopleSoft… But I think Oracle would be insane not to promote MySQL, as it steals away from MS SQL, and offers upgrade/migration path to robust enterprise Oracle and also ERP solutions.

If you had $100,000 they you're in Oracle territory. It also gives them the ability to potentially up sell. 2) Solaris? Seems like a horizontal stack. Their Red Hat clone isn't doing that well... Solaris and Oracle do play very well together. Now they have an OS and can implement changes to enhance their DB performance. 3) Java? Or Java Programmers... Expanding their software development community cannot be a bad thing. I am expecting to see better/enhanced integration with Java and the DB world. Just curious as to what will happen with OO.o.... Not that it's relevant to this discussion. This seems like it will have a few positive ideas about it.
