Oracle purchase of Sun

Once again in the world of IT, it is the big dog eats small dog happening again. This time it is Oracle purchase Sun. So it shows that IT world changes very fast. The once popular Sun whose server products was everywhere, that is until MS roll out their Windows NT/2000 which any Intel CPU can become a server. So now we get to see more NT/2K servers than Unix from Sun. So now Oracle will own Sun, or perhaps only the brand name. Oracle, from what I know does database applications. Since I do not uses their products I only heard of their names from my work environment. Their purchase of Sun will most likely intergrate with their database products. But will the server continue with Unix? Or a GUI approach be possible since today's admin are used to the point and click. Typing commands are a thing of the past. Only time will tell if Sun will fade away.
