Just for those of you who might rarely review TSS, this is the power of
rummer :)

* Sun Microsystems has agreed to buy MySQL AB for $1B, giving them
additional leverage in the open source community and providing access to
MySQL to its larger corporations. The deal is expected to close during the
third or fourth quarter.

* BEA has agreed to acquisition by Oracle Corp, for $8.5 billion dollars,
as mentioned as a possibility by TSS back in October 2007. This
strengthens Oracle's SOA market share, giving it access to BEA's
AquaLogic, Tuxedo, Kodo, JRockit, and BEA Workshop.

Now say goodbye to (some) excellent BEA products and let see how Rod
thinks about this all:
