So now the game has come to a close with Oracle's successful bid for Sun! My guess is that the Board of Directors at Sun was a little bit nervous after having said no to IBM.
What will Oracle do?
My sense is that they will need to run a few strategy sessions around the future of MySQL, the hardware business and how to make money out of the Office suit without interfering with the notion of ´free´.
I also expect that there will be few cuts in the work force both in the US and perhaps even more in other countries. There will be lot of duplicate positions!
But I want to congratulate Mr. Ellison for landing such a wonderful deal! And even more to the shareholders of Sun that can laugh all the way to the bank!
Regards, Per
