Oracle (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-04-30 22:04 (#19R) So "¦ Oracle has kind of been like the kiss of death for this platform. I like SPARC because it's interesting and because it's not x86, which despite its ubiquity I find boring and poorly organized and kludgy at best.But Oracle isn't an OS developer, SPARC has been left to rot in the gallows, and the users are going elsewhere. Too bad, SPARC, say hi to all those other interesting-but-dead architectures out there.
