News on future Sun/Oracle strategy

Looks like we may get some more answers regarding the future of Oracle and Sun soon, Oracle hosts an event on January 27.

Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL) announced today that it will host a live event for customers, partners, press and analysts on January 27, 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM PT, at its headquarters in Redwood Shores, California. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, along with executives from Oracle and Sun, will outline the strategy for the combined companies, product roadmaps, and how customers will benefit from having all components - hardware, operating system, database, middleware, and applications - engineered to work together. The event will be broadcast globally.

I hope we at least will get some concrete answers on how they plan to handle Solaris and OpenSolaris.

Here is the full press release but the above is pretty much it without lots of disclaimers.
