Ellison: "The underlying engineering teams are so good, but the direction they got was so astonishingly bad that even they couldn't succeed. Really great blogs do not take the place of great microprocessors. Great blogs do not replace great software. Lots and lots of blogs does not replace lots and lots of sales."



I'm pretty sure the direction at Oracle is far better. That must be the reason Gosling et al are leaving Oracle as fast as they can.


If Oracle winds up making more money with Sun's assets than Sun did, would that necessarily be a bad thing?

I'm not saying losing the likes of Tim Bray and Gosling is good but having them didn't help Sun much either.
