could this be the point that made MySql a must have for Sun? They get the same engineering mindset for Linux that they have for Solaris but without impacting Solaris now - hmm

gotta give him credit for realizing that MySql was already good at what it did at the core - so this gives me hope Sun isn't just acquiring brains.

yea, but will Sun be sending sales dudes if they spot companies with cash in the logs?

let's hope sun doesn't do MySql community like it does openSolaris or Java community ;)

I think that's the main "buy" decision point for the majority of MySQL users - free!
