Following Oracle's $7.4 billion purchase this week of Sun Microsystems, what does the future look like for both companies?


"Sun made its name as a supplier of server hardware during the dot-com heyday, but its best-known technology is software: the Java programming language," notes CNET's Steven Musil. "The two companies said Java is the 'most important software Oracle has ever acquired.'"


"Few expect the Redwood Shores, Calif. database giant to mess with Java," writes ZDNet's Paula Rooney. "It is a well established industry standard and recently open sourced programming engine. But when it comes to MySQL and Sun's other open source offerings, the jury is out."
