The January rumours were true and on Friday Oracle laid off the core talent from the Solaris and SPARC teams, in effect finally killing what they had left of Sun Microsystems. When Oracle aquired Sun, there were a lot of valuable assets, each of which, except VirtualBox, has been squandered and abandoned. Simon Phipps enumerates the main ones and what happened to them.

    I recently couldn't find the source of virtualbox.
    I'm switching to qemu-kvm, just in case.

    Forget that kvm shit, if you dare to be badass, you should compile your own optimized build of qemu with march=native and run only tcg.
