No mention of MySQL -- a notable absence given the overall level of detail.
I thought due to the headline indicating java, that maybe it just wasn't about MySQL, but I too find the lack of mention quite shocking. I don't use MySQL, but if I did, I'd be concerned about an upcoming lack of support for the platform. I wonder if Oracle will replace it with a free version of Oracle.
I like Oracle. Lots don't, but I find it to be quite scalable and robust. I don't like it's lack of support for database standards though.

The headline was a bit off -- the document was about Oracle's overall technology strategy w.r.t. the Sun acquisition.
Anybody else get a kick of the 'Oracle/Agile' bubble on slide 41?
Interesting direction: run Java directly on top of hypervisors.
In the area I'm watching, they have for JVMs "Run natively on Hypervisors" and for Sun Ops Center "'Bare Metal' OS and Hypervisor Provisioning".
Worth a look if you care about the future of Java (bleah) or languages that run on top of JVM (yeah!).
