So, Oracle+Sun+Java makes more business sense than IBM+Sun+Java ?

Given my experience with IBM’s solutions and pricing policies, I’d say yes. I’d choose Solaris over IBM pretty much any day of the week simply because it scales better and more cheaply.

The even better solution is:

HP/Dell/IBM/Unisys + SQL Server + .NET

I was hoping for IBM. My inhouse business software written by moi is all java/mysql/netbeans

[zeugma]

I’d say so, especially in light of Oracles acquisition of Bea’s Weblogic Application Server

Well Given Oracle now controls the direction of Java and that OracleDB is Superior to IBM’s DB2 in many ways yes, in shops where a Mainframe is no longer a consideration Sun is the equal of IBM.
