Oracle is in the process of acquiring another tech giant—Sun Microsystems. This merger will create an entity that will be much bigger and will probably ensure more fair competition in an industry hitherto dominated by either Microsoft or IBM. Oracle will also become the world’s biggest open source company. This could make it most suitable for customers, as it will now have a stake in almost every possible field of the tech industry. The deal is sure to force all the major players to re-work their strategies. From the developer’s point of view, since Oracle will now own a lot of premium Free Software products, what will happen to core technologies like OOo, MySQL, OpenSolaris and many others? Will Oracle’s new solutions stack dent the Microsoft office suite fortress? Will Oracle’s hardware partners like Dell and HP become competitors and align with Microsoft? This Oracle-Sun deal is like a galactic collision that promises to shake up the global tech industry.
Read on for the expert opinions on this mega acquisition, and the various scenarios that could emerge from it in the near future.
