SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 20, 2009 -- Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: JAVA) and Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL) announced today they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Oracle will acquire Sun common stock for $9.50 per share in cash. The transaction is valued at approximately $7.4 billion, or $5.6 billion net of Sun's cash and debt.
Guys? What's happening in this world of IT?
I mean seriously, these acquisitions are changing a lot of things.
First it was Sun buying MySQL, now Oracle is buying Sun.
Makes me wonder, what does the future hold for MySQL? I mean, would Oracle trade continuity of MySQL over enhancement of Oracle DBMS?
I suppose, Bill Gates, and a few others understand what most developers don't.
I mean, don't you get it? It's all about money. It's all about how to make more money. How that money is made, whether it involves crippling some geek, it doesn't matter.
