Sun has bought open-source software maker MySQL of Sweden for $1 Billion. So what is Sun going to do with this purchase.

John Dvorak from MarketWatch said that Sun Microsystems gobbling up MySQL is perhaps the worst single event he has ever witnessed in the history of tech mergers and acquisitions. His reasons lies in Sun having a bad track record with its acquisitions.

John go on further linking Oracle, strategic partner of Sun, paying the billion to kill off mySQL.
