Now that the Sun acquisition is a done deal, Oracle has begun picking and choosing the products that will live on and which will fade out. While CEO Larry Ellison was adamant that there would be no wholesale slaughter of products or staffing cuts, the reality is that not everything can survive or receive full Oracle investment.

Michael Bemmer, the former head of Sun's software business, is now the general manager of the Oracle Office Global Business Unit and is in many of the clips. He said there will be a name change for Star Office and Star Suite, which will become members of the Oracle Office family.

Other survivors include JavaFX, Java ME, HotSpot Java Virtual Machine (to be integrated with the fast JRockit VM from BEA Systems) and Sun's Operations Center management software, which will be merged with Oracle's Enterprise Manger.
