So from the thread below it sounds like Oracle actually acquired Sun primarily for their customer base alone, a large pool of cashed up blue chips for Oracle's sales force to feast on. The engineering culture and aptitude at Sun would from this strategy just be considered overhead, thus the mass exodus of talent. So perishes a once mighty titan.

Still, will be interesting to see what happens with the seeds flung off from this tempest.
