Counterpoint?

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Ok I know this article is currently a bunch of doomsaying against Oracle. Honestly I tried to find some opposing points of view out there. But at first look it's not really there. And I'm tired after going through the list of bad things that actually have happened.

I really do want this to be a balanced article. Has anyone read any good stories or views that've come out of this? Positive things that've happened? (Not just predictions from beforehand.) Maybe advantages for customers or projects actually that have thrived?

There is no counterpoint. Oracle jumped the shark, repeatedly, in the dumbest way possible. Wish there was something positive to say! --Demonkoryu (talk) 10:58, 20 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Sun acquisition by Oracle. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20090801043420/http://www.itworld.com:80/business/72663/suns-jruby-team-jumps-ship-engine-yard to http://www.itworld.com/business/72663/suns-jruby-team-jumps-ship-engine-yard

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
