We've been debating the merits of a possible IBM-Sun deal for a while now, and even Sun itself seemed to be in the dark as to if it would be a good idea to be bought by IBM. These debates are now all moot: in a surprise move (at least, I didn't see any speculation about it) Oracle has bought Sun Microsystems, at USD 9.50 a share, which equates to a total of 7.4 billion USD. The news got out through a press release.

Ok maby i am stupid or something.
but can you please explain the relevance
http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleB...
in your last post.
it could be about "I am talking about big installations.
but the article just deals with about a unconfirmd rumor that google is trying solaris.
oh and it did also contain some cloud/hosting computing business that switched.
but we still dont know if the error is with bsd/linux or that they used a crappy support company, and sun is a great company for support.
but i did fail to see anything about linux not being able to run on big installations.
And yes in your last post you did make the statement that it was only big installation machines you are talking about. but not in the others i still think that you should think about what the article say's and what you say.
