Oracle, Sun Micro To Announce New Type Of Computer
Officials for Palo Alto-based Sun, the world's largest maker of computer workstations, and Oracle, the largest database software company, declined to comment. A telephone conference call is scheduled for 10 a.m. Pacific time Monday (1300 EST, 1800 GMT) with Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison and Sun Chief Executive Scott McNealy.
Kernels from operating systems software such as Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, System 10 from Apple Computer Inc., FreeBSD and NetBSD may be used. I use a modified form of Linux myself, and this may be a real threat for msft.
I think you need to buy both of these and short msft Monday. They have been breaking out of a base for some time now. |
