Oracle's acquisition of Sun last month raised many questions about the future of Sun's core technologies, especially the company's popular open source software projects.

Following the acquisition, Sun CEO Larry Ellison expressed strong enthusiasm for both Java and Solaris--indicating that Oracle takes both...

2 Time and Innovativeness
Aditya Sharma  |  Added idea  "Always ready to change "  |  3 years ago
The biggest idea I think is a person should be always ready to change the very place of happening. In this case it was India in the beginning they changed it in less than 3 weeks time to SA. All other things are there as usual.

2 Not knowing how to close the sale
Natarajan.N  |  Supported idea  "Not knowing how to close the sale"  |  1 year ago
