"So, to be honest, this is not a note this founder wants to write. Sun, in my mind, should have been the great and surviving consolidator*. But I love the market economy and capitalism more than I love my company.*
*And I sure "hope" America regains its love affair with capitalism. And except for the auto industry, financial industry, health care, and some other places (I digress), the invisible hand is doing its thing quite efficiently. *So I am more than willing to accept this outcome.
And my hat is off to one of the greatest capitalists I have ever met, Larry Ellison. He will do well with the assets that Sun brings to Oracle."
