SUN Microsystems Sun and Oracle have established a new strategic partnership in an attempt to challenge Microsoft with what Oracle CEO Larry Ellison calls 'standards-based systems.' According to Ellison and McNealy, their mutual goal is the production of a complete Java-centric enterprise datacenter architecture that leverages Solaris 10 and Oracle's Fusion middleware. Designed specifically as an alternative to Microsoft's .NET technology stack, the new platform is competitively priced and based on robust frameworks.

The development of Java never slept, but now Sun needs to speed up the development a bit, because they have got a big competition. I guess in the future these two big technologies (Java and .NET) will live side by side. But till now Java has been the nearly only technology for this market. This will change.
