World Domination

So Oracle have bought MySQL and are buying Sun!

It looks like we are going to end up with three major players in IT;

• Microsoft
• Oracle
• Google

My initial reaction is, I don't think that this is a good thing.

IBM seem to be diminishing by degrees and everyone else is being aquired.

Having said that I don't think this is a good thing, maybe it is. Perhaps we need this to happen to arrive at a common platform. A common platform would make things easier; maybe even make things better (not sure about that).
