Anyone know what's happening to the Sun research department?

  Oracle said no one will be laid off and they will dramatically increase R&D spending.

    As a general rule, don't trust anything that's said during an acquisition. Those communiqués are designed to assuage shareholder, employee and fan fears and usually get, uhm, reinterpreted within the first year.

      Sounds like campaign promises. I'm going to miss Sun.

  Here's something: "But the really eye-opening thing about Wednesday's presentation was just how much Oracle actually had to say about Java. I expected superficial affirmations like Ellison gave at OpenWorld; what I got was almost too much to process." http://infoworld.com/print/111021 http://infoworld.com/print/111021
