"Big Vacuum"

Today Oracle closes the Sun deal and "sunw/java" is history today. As a former Sun employee, i describe Sun as "brain power doing good things for last 3 decades".

Sure, many tech companies has brain power. Then many non-profit like Apache is doing good things. The unique thing about Sun is "both".

Here is some examples-
[1] Open workstations
[2] Solaris
[3] NFS
[4] Java
[5] ZFS

Sun changed the computing for-ever. Good bye independent Sun.

Summary:
A big vacuum is created in the computing industry today.
