"Sun was a great place to work before it fell off the cliff in the dot com implosion. No wonder that Oracle bought them, it was impossible to compete with Red Hat after Scott killed Solaris x86 in the late 1990's. I would be interested to know how former Sun folks are doing at Oracle. The cultural differences between the two companies is palpable!!"
