    As Euro Commi­ssion clears Oracle’s pro­po­sed acqui­si­tion of Sun Mic­ro­systems, this acqui­si­tion is much clo­ser to the end. And I don’t think Russia and China will place obsta­cles for this deal, and it will finish in seve­ral days.

    It is so pity and sad to hear that bad news. As a stu­dent, I took the most memo­ra­ble inter­n­ship at Sun and dee­ply fell into love with Sun’s uni­que cur­ture. Without an open envio­r­n­ment and a technology-first ideo­logy, every engi­neer can obtain an immea­su­ra­ble free­dom around tech­no­logy, so Sun crea­ted a lot of new tech­ni­que. Java, Sola­ris, ZFS, DTrace, netBeans, JavaFX, Lesture, Sto­ra­ge­Tek, Clu­ster, Vir­tua­lBox, MySQL, Ult­ra­SPARC, xVM….. All of them is so great that can change our world. I wor­ked for Sun for 8 mon­ths, but I can­not reme­mber all of Sun’s mature pro­duct, because Sun owns such a lot of good pro­je­cts or products.

    In my family, I deplo­yed a NAS (Network Atta­ched Sto­rage) Server under Open­So­la­ris. with ZFS suppo­r­ted, I can easily possess a good network server to store my per­so­nal and family data with a high relia­bi­lity and a good per­fo­r­mance. And I also deplo­yed subver­sion, SAMP (Solaris+Apache+MySQL+PHP), Dyna­mic domain bin­ding, remo­ting desktop and so on into my box, and I got a won­der­ful family system cen­ter with Sun’s pro­duct. I love it!

    I will never for­get that time wor­king for Sun in my life. I love Sun forever.

    Good luck to all the Sunners.
