Sun founder Scott McNealy yesterday holstered the snark and poured his heart out in a farewell letter to company employees and stakeholders.
Sun Microsystems chairman Scott McNealy and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison both took the stage at the Oracle OpenWorld 2009 conference on Sunday evening to offer reassurances that Sun technologies will not go away should Oracle complete its planned acquisition of Sun.
From Java to the Solaris OS to the Sparc CPU platform and Sun storage technologies, Oracle will be good for all of them, the executives stressed at the San Francisco event.
Combining Sun's research and development budget with Sun's presents "one of the great R&D opportunities of all time". McNealy said.
It's the end of an era at Sun Microsystems.
