Oracle and the BEA Deadpool

Today Oracle announced that they will reveal their strategy for integrating (and/or shitcanning) BEA products. And boy are there a bunch of them -- almost 50 in total! With so many to choose from, we can play a fun little game. Which products are going to live and which ones are headed for the deadpool?

I've created a nice little anonymous poll here on my blog -- feel free to pick as many products as you like. A yes vote means you think the product will live on at Oracle and not voting for it means you don't.

I'll share my votes, because I'm just that kind of guy.

WebLogic Server: +1 (as I think it will replace Oracle's application server in the Fusion Middleware stack)

WLP, ALUI, Tuxedo and EVERYTHING ELSE: -1

It's too bad, but all good things (like ALUI) and even some lousy things (like WLP) must come to an end. The real shame is that many of the Enterprise 2.0 initiatives that BID started are not going to go anywhere. Oh well.

But hey, this is just one guy's opinion. Poll closes on 7/1 at 9 AM PDT/12 PM EDT -- then all will be revealed by the Oracle. Or not. We'll just have to see.
