Can someone remind me of why Oracle bought Sun?Server sales across the board have dropped, but Sun servers are tanking. Windows and Linux OS's, while dropped, aren't very bad and look like they'll both grow. Not so much for Solaris. Sun also has the Java portfolio, but there are lots...

Interesting....I don't see a reason Wikipedia would max out considering that every day new younger participants are entering the field. It's timeless relevance could diminish as new and younger editors focus on more up-to-date matters as Twitter, Sexting and Cloud computing, and less on the Roman Empire, the Great Depression...
