I expect they will throw it in with the DB costs in those markets, I think
the Sun deal is good for oracle as before they aways had to use someone
elses Iron, and normally OS. Now they can start providing a complete out of
the box solution. This is much better for Solaris than the IBM deal would
have been already having there own iron and os... even if it is AIX!
