I don't know the truth either but just in case it is true that Oracle will
discontinue releases on Solaris Sparc platform, Oracle Corp. must be out of
its mind because Sun has the largest share of the unix server market. It is
Oracle's loss not to port its database on the Solaris Sparc platform. On
the other hand, Oracle's decision to desupport Solaris Intel platform was
expected and probably a good move on the part of Sun. Sun should focus on
the Sparc platform and should relegate the Intel platform to Linux.
