Q+A-What are Larry Ellison's plans for Sun Micro?
,----[ Quote ]
| A. No. Our primary reason for designing our own chips is to build computers
| with the very best performance, reliability and security available in the
| market. Some system features work much better if they are implemented in
| silicon rather than software. Once we own Sun, we'll be able to plan and
| synchronize new features from silicon to software, just like IBM and the
| other big system suppliers. We want to work with Fujitsu to design advanced
| features into the SPARC microprocessor aimed at improving Oracle database
| performance. In my opinion, this will enable SPARC Solaris open-system
| mainframes and servers to challenge IBM's dominance in the data center. Sun
| was very successful for a very long time selling computer systems based on
| the SPARC chip and the Solaris operating system. Now, with the added power of
| integrated Oracle software, we think they can be again.

What Oracle gets with MySQL
,----[ Quote ]
| MySQL, in other words, is a great example of how Oracle can make open source
| pay. MySQL is much more like Oracle than I originally thought.

As Oracle Becomes Java's Steward, It's Also a Big Player in Mobile Tech
,----[ Quote ]
| JavaME is on almost every phone, Sun has traditionally gotten revenues from
| support contracts for it, and there is much work going on on JavaFX mobile
| applications. In acquiring Sun, Oracle will also acquire quite a lot of Java
| momentum on mobile platforms--a space where it has had nearly no presence in
| the past.
