Bringing MaximeVM out of research labs into the market as GraalVM.

First RDMS to support Perl and Java as stored procedures.

Join venture with Sun for Network Computer thin clients.

Every OpenSolaris sales is one sale less from Unbreakable Linux, so in a day and age where UNIX === Linux, a company like Oracle has chosen what makes more sense monetarly.

I doubt that IBM is getting lots of new AIX customers.

And in the end, except for a timid offer from IBM, no one cared to rescue Sun.

FANG would buy them if they had somehow managed to stumble forward to the mid-2010s.

I don't think that FB were in a position back then. I was very surprised at the time that Google didn't buy them. Microsoft would never had gotten it past the regulators.
