Big Blue pulled out of acquiring Sun due to the size bonus payments for executives. Larry Ellison has no such problems with huge bonuses and swooped in.
So now we have "Big Red", as some industry commentators are now calling Oracle (expect lots of headlines about the Sun setting ....).
So Larry gets his hands on Solaris and Java - THE operating system and programming lanaguage of choice for the dotcom boom in the 1990s.
The hardware business will allow Oracle to get into the application and database appliance business.
By accident, Larry also becomes the biggest open source vendor. Any guesses for what he'll do with MySQL?
