Sun Lives!

Sun Microsystems is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle Corporation. All of the current hardware is still being sold and all the older hardware continues the support it had from Sun. More importantly, it ensures Sun's viability. Some people had doubts due to money troubles but Oracle has put an end to that.

SPARC is actually getting a bigger investment and so is Solaris. Virtually every software product, even those that overlap with Oracle's past offerings, is being continued for the foreseeable future.

Good news all around for those who use Sun and the industry as a whole.
