Quite the ingenious pairing if you ask me.
Oracle has been powered by Java. Sun servers run Oracle. This is as close to a match made in heaven for Sun as you could get. Their software and Oracle's software coffers don't collide very much at all.
IBM was surprised, but I remember the first time talks broke down, some one talked about Oracle being the next in line. IBM is best not to buy this one, while IBM could utilize Java to no end, Oracle doesn't have a hardware line under the eyes of the DOJ.
In the words of Guinness, "Brilliant!"
