Wow - Oracle actually bought Sun

Today, Oracle bought Sun. This leads to a lot of interesting things - some good, some bad. For instance, Sun provides commercial support for the Postgres database and owns the MySql company, while Oracle owns, as you would know, the Oracle database.

It could also mean the end of Sun's sexy(ish) hardware. Certainly the heydays of Sun or SGI unix workstations are gone.
