SPARC, especially ROCK is dead, Exadata is now Oracle only

Expect that $1.5B of profit from the Sun business to come from increased prices and forced migrations to Solaris on x86. The movement of Solaris to x86 just kicked into high gear. The flow chart for decisions in Oracle is...will it generate more profit? will it generate more software sales? will it reduce costs? Is it cool technology is not in the decision tree.

Go Kat Go.....we need the Oracle share price to go up!
