Oracle Sun Deal Raises Questions among Professional

Oracle Sun deal has raised few questions in the minds of the IT professionals as well as business gurus.It will be interesting to see how Oracle handles these after the deal is finalised.The main point becomes pretty unclear that whether it make Oracle's presence stronger in the market or it will sink the business of Sun.The main Questions are Summarised below:-

# What will happen to the OPEN SOURCE ??

The most important of all questions(leaving business one's), if you little bit of Open Source software.Open Source technology might see wrong effects if this deal happens.Open Source software are those that doesn’t have the same license and copyright limits as most commercial software.A good example of Open Source software is Mozilla FireFox which is a famous web browser.Sun has most biggest and popular Open Source software like widely used Java technology and MySQL Database server,Largest open source office suite OpenOffice and operating system OpenSolaris.Since Oracle is a Profit-profit organisation this technology may be under threat.But one thing Oracle can do that to continue with these technologies and put their technical expertise into it to ensure they must not vanish and remain profitable too.What Oracle will do with Open Source is to remain major concern of many tech gurus,as everyone is closely following the Oracle Sun deal.


# Oracle own Java technology ??

Currently Java is the most widely used programming language around the world which runs on almost 800 millions PC's and 2.10 billion cellular phones.When the owner of Oracle CEO Larry Ellison made announcement about the deal he said "Java is the single most important software asset we have ever acquired".This deal help Oracle and its acquired Companies to release the new version of its products to its customers and may increase the price of its products to ensure the profitability of this deal.Most importantly the rivals of Oracle The IBM uses Java as its programming language for its products.After the deal if Oracle own Java it may put a firm restriction on the use of Java Technology by its rival which will boost their market .Owning Java gives Oracle more components of the software ,that companies use to create applications, including the programming language, Java middleware, and Oracle's market-leading database. The combination of Oracle's database with Java as middleware give tough competition to to Microsoft.

Many more Questions are raised like:
1.what Oracle will do with Sun's Hardware business ??
2.How many peoples in Sun will lose their jobs ??
3.Will Oracle save Sun's existence ??
4.Will MySQL stay as compelling ??

The world is watching this deal very closely as this deal may transform the industry and its norms.Keep a close eye its getting interesting and serious as well.
