There's a lot of one-sided rhetoric in this post. Oracle could be highly committed to accessibility while still laying off some or all of the Sun accessibility people. Maybe Oracle simply doesn't care about Gnome. If I were Oracle/Sun, I'd remove the entire GUI from Solaris, remove all the desktop-specific parts from Solaris, and port all the GUI tools to Windows and MacOSX, because almost every one of their (paying) customers is using Solaris remotely from Windows/MacOSX desktops anyway. I recommend reading the transcript of Oracle's Oracle+Sun meeting with analysts. Basically, Oracle said that they intend to focus Sun's efforts on the Sun products/services with the highest profit margin. The profit margin on Gnome is pretty much negative, any way you look at it. http://seekingalpha.com/article/185052-sun-microsystems-inc-oracle-sun-strategy-update-financial-analyst-call-transcript http://seekingalpha.com/article/185052-sun-microsystems-inc-... "So let's start with at the top of the slide, engineering. We're going to also shift our engineering focus to invest heavily in the high value, differentiated products and have increased investment in those areas. And in addition, having these database appliances or appliances where the hardware and the software are engineered together (inaudible) being the first one, we'll have a series of new products, we're investing heavily in engineering to make great products that are differentiated that are multiple times better, order of magnitude times better than competing products."
