[citation][nom]djhg2000[/nom]What good has Oracle done with Sun so far anyway?They already killed OpenSolaris and who knows what will go next? VirtuallBox OSE? OpenOffice?[/citation]
Get your facts straight before you comment. Oracle has not killed OpenSolaris. Where is your source for that statement?? Some want-a-be tech analyst, FUD from a competitor of Oracle/Sun, or just plain hearsay. Oracle has committed to OpenSolaris! It is the development foundation for Sun Solaris now called Oracle Solaris. Oracle Solaris and OpenSolaris are both alive, doing well, have a strong solid roadmap, and a long future.
As for VirturalBox, it is one of the virtualization technologies that Oracle is moving forward and will continue to support as Open Source as well as supporting with commercial support contracts for those folks that rely on it enough to want such a level of support. (yes, commercial support contracts to make money which is not a bad thing, so don't hate a company for making money, Sun should have done more of that making money thing)
Kill OpenOffice, are you kidding???? Why would they kill or stop it from being Open Source when it's making a dent in Microsoft Office sales and gaining so much momentum. If they don't already, they will most likely offer commercial support contracts on it as well.
