What's their track record with Java, MySQL etc?
- debacle 14y agoFantastic, actually. They've really embraced the OSS Java community and MySQL is stronger than it has ever been. The OpenSolaris community is also thriving, and Oracle's partnership with Google has helped move Android forward leaps and bounds.
- buster 14y agoYou should've put a </sarcasm> tag in the end ;)
- keithpeter 14y agoYes, fortunately, I was on my work PC that has a £10 keyboard when I was reading this. Seriously: what a palaaver that a huge company has to shove a tiny project aside.
- timc3 14y agoHa ha! Thanks for the best laugh I have had today
- taligent 14y agoFantastic from the Java side. They have made a number of very useful improvements to the JVM e.g. addition of JRockit, new parallel GC etc at no cost. It is annoying that they don't offer a repo to allow for easy updates but there are scripts to help. And they just seem eager to push the platform forward with a confidence that was lacking from Sun.
