I agree with you Steve. Oracle is one of the biggest funders and
participants in the Xen open source project, and many others... I have
a good friend that works there now, in the Oracle VM group, and he is
constantly telling me how much they love open-source...
I think this is a very interesting buy. However, I wish Microsoft would
have bought them and just shut them down. I wish Gates would have spent
his money (billions) on just buying up all the competition... lol... A
billion here, 5 billion there... I'm a PC. LOL!

You can kiss MySQL goodbye too. IBM might try to take over OpenOffice
if possible.

This is so terrible in so many ways. I proclaim Java to be on its
