So I forgot to get on and post the IBM and Oracle ...Sun debacle..

Sun did fine, lots of guys at the top richer than ever , but as usual the people in the trenches that kept Sun alive are being cast aside..

on the IBM front, Palmisano was throwing furniture over losing JAVA...his people screwed this up big time...if your portfolio and integration effort was so JAVA focused (geez IBM had more Java Developers than Sun did) then you can't fathom why they would not have just paid the 5 bucks more????

Reminds me of the book Bib Blues, good reading if you want to watch the mistakes that IBM made over the years, includes xerography patent, RISC proceesors, DOS/Windows, Intel bailout, Wang bailout...and so much more we can cover some of this in the blog one day....

But back to missing Java. Larry Ellison will monetize and license Java and make IBM miserable, its not open source so he can somewhat do what he wants..and the IBM Websphere stack will be in a nuclear holocaust!

So Larry laughs, Suns top guys get rich(er) IBM gets screwed and the Sun little people get wiped.. all in all exactly how the world works bad guys win again...(gee does that mean IBM is good guys? lets not take the leap yet)


Tomorrow we talk about the CLOUD.....hahahaha I'm laughing already
